Imphal, September 29 2023:
The Global Manipur Federation (GMF), South Korea Chapter has highlighted the Chin-Kuki narco-terrorism which has been terrorising Manipur for the past five months.
Members of GMF South Korea Chapter assembled in front of Gwanghwamun Palace, Seoul showing solidarity to all the victims and prayed for justice and peace in Manipur.
The silent demonstration started at 4.15 pm today.
The participants highlighted narco-terrorism as a critical cause of the ongoing crisis in Manipur.
The placards distributed to the passers-by and the festoons held up by the volunteers read "Pray for Peace in Manipur" and "Stop narco-terrorism in Manipur (India)" .
At the demonstration, Global Manipur Federation, Korea Chapter also expressed heartfelt condolences to the departed souls of the two students, Linthoingambi and Hemanjit feared to be killed brutally by the Chin-Kuki terrorists this July.
The gathering condemned the heinous crime committed by the narco-terrorists on the innocent minors, and demanded befitting punishment to criminals.
Again, the gathering decried the cruel and excessive actions of the armed forces and the police which caused numerous injuries to more than 170 students during a rally on September 27 in the (Manipur) valley.
Adequate litigation should be administered against the illegal and unwarranted actions of using pellet bullets, fatal explosives and inhuman tortures which are against the Article 19 of the Indian constitution, said a press release issued by GMF South Korea Chapter.
Prior to the gathering, the diasporas visited the Indian embassy in Seoul and handed over an urgent appeal on September 28 .
The appeal underlined the entry of illegal immigrants across the porous Myanmar-Manipur border that has been happening continuously over the last 15 years, and their settlement in the reserved forests which consequently ended in the illegal poppy plantation resulting in mass deforestation in the State.
