Zeliangrong Baudi of Assam, Manipur and Nagaland (ZB-AMN) has strongly condemned the incident of indiscriminate firing at the residence of Panti Gonmei, a human rights activists by some unidentified armed personnel at Langol Tarung, Imphal on Friday evening thereby creating panic and shock among the inmates including minor children, old aged devotees in the prayer room and patients.
In a statement, ZB-AMN said the sudden attack made by the miscreants seemed to be a threat to stop the defence of human rights and the struggle for justice for the helpless victims of rapes, tortures, human trafficking, extra judicial killings and racial discriminations and state apathy to the unfortunate people who are widowed untimely, etc.
"All the right thinking people of the region including more than 90 Zeliangrong villages settled in Imphal valley shall not spare the perpetrators of the crime," it stated.
ZB-AMN then demanded that the culprits should be booked immediately for justice or else they may be emboldened till they meet their own fate in the hands of some avengers which would be counterproductive and may create communal discord and disturbances in the state.
