"If people who refuse to support the ruling party aren't allowed to live, kill us all," remarked Imagi Meira convenor Th Sujata.

She was addressing a press meet held at Manipur Press Club, here, on Saturday.
She condemned the various untoward events that occurred during the polling for 18th Lok Sabha election on Friday.
The authorities went ahead with the election despite denouncement from the people and yet during the election, the authorities snatched away the people's right to vote, she claimed.
"Where were the security personnel deployed for the smooth conduct of the election when the "unknown miscreants" wreaked at the polling stations, who are these "unknown miscreants" and what is the ruling government's agenda," she questioned.
She also condemned the shooting of one elderly man and the strangling of a woman by armed miscreants.
She demanded the authorities to punish the miscreants within a week, stating that it is the government's duty to protect the rights of the people.
"In the light of such violent incidents what do the DCs meant when they say they are prepared for a free and fair election, " she further questioned.
"If repoll is conducted, the authorities should prevent occurrence of similar violent.
incidents.
If the government attempted to snatch the people's right again, there will be enmity between the people and the government," Sujata cautioned.
