Demanding severest form of punishment against those responsible for the death of Laishram ongbi Bidya, Nupi Samaj and Ima Khunthokhanbi Nishaband Meira Paibi Thangmeiband jointly staged a sit-in protest opposite to DM College Gate here on Thursday.
During the sit-in, the protestors held placards inscribed with slogans such as "We condemn crime against women", "Punish Bidya's murderers", "Award capital punishment to Bidya's murderers", and "Punish wife killer Rocky in public".
Speaking on the sidelines of the sit-in, Nupi Samaj finance secretary Mayanglambam Ibeyaima contended that the government is still feign ignorance of the indiscriminate killing of women that are taking place in the state.
There is the need to put a stop to this terrifying trend, she asserted, while urging the government to take serious note of the matter.
She continued that killing women who are the only ones who can give birth and nurture the next generation would be ominous for the future.
While claiming that Bidya was brutally beaten up before being killed, an act no humans are supposed to do, she reiterated the demand that the culprit(s) involved be given stringent punishment as per the law of the land.
