Imphal, April 21 2009:
PLEDGING SUPPORT to the JAC (People for Justice) against the killing of Dr Kishan, Token and Rajen, the Thangmeiband United Club (TUC) and Thangmeiband Meira Paibee Apunba have decided to stay away from the Parliamentary election.
A press release issued by the President of Thangmeiband United Club said that the decision to stay away from casting vote in the election has been reached today after deliberate and threadbare discussion by the TUC and Thangmeiband Meira Paibees.
The statement said that whom to vote and for why is a question which merits asking to oneself before pressing the button of the voting machine at this point of time when the fundamental rights to life has been threatened.
It also strongly denounced the injustice to the killing of Dr Kishan, Token and Rajen by the NSCN-IM.
It also said that now is the time to ponder on how to highlight the matter to higher-ups while disparaging the move of the power that-be in trying to subdue the people's movement for justice against the killing of Dr Kishan and two of his subordinates.
