Imphal, October 01 2023:
Churachandpur-based Joint Students' Body (JSB) condemned in the strongest terms 'abduction' of 6 civilians, including two minor girls, in between Kangvai and Molhoi village, while on their way to Churachandpur town around 8:45 am on Sunday.
In a release, JSB contended that one woman was picked up by the CBI team without the presence of female police.
Any such instances will be strongly opposed in the future, it maintained, while condemning the inhumane act of transporting even children along with those arrested.
Furthermore, in the future, any person with arms and moving around in plain clothes will be stopped and action taken against them, the release cautioned, while announcing to the general public that if they spot any such people moving around in plain clothes and behaving in a suspicious manner, they should take action.
Condemning the selective targeting of Kuki-Zomi-Mizo people in the investigation of cases by even central agencies, JSB opposed the biased selection of police cases involving their people while the numerous cases of heinous crimes against their people are left ignored.
"We are also alarmed at the Facebook post of the Chief Minister that some of the culprits in a murder case have been caught when the case has not even been solved.
We cannot but see this as an indication of a nexus' between certain central agencies and the state government which have been succumbing to political pressure and manipulation," the release said.
Pointing out that the safety and well-being of all members of their community are of utmost importance to them, JSB extended heartfelt solidarity with the families and friends of those who have been unjustly taken.
