Imphal, July 03 2023:
Strongly condemning the murder of David Thiele at Langza village on July 2, Hmar Students' Association (HSA), Tuithapai joint headquarters said the association and tribal people will not remain mere spectators but requite the death of the villager.
According to a statement of HSA Tuithapai, the brutal murder of David Thiek, son of Khu ma Thiek of Langza village by Meetei groups will not deter the community in the fight for freedom from the clutch of the Meetei and defending the Kuki Zo Hmar ancestral land.
Questioning as to why and how the village authority marked houses of Langza village as Hmar and Kom, the HSA said Langza village authority owes an explanation to the entire Kuki-Zo-Hmar-Mizo communities for the abhorrent act of open betrayal.
It also appealed the community concerned to be fully aware of the sensitivity of the ongoing conflict in the state.
Apart from mourning the death of David Thiek, the HSA tuithapai also shared pain and grief of the bereaved family.
