Imphal, June 15 2023:
As a mark of respect to all those who have lost their lives while defending the integrity of Manipur in the ongoing communal conflict, members of Khwairamband Ima Keithel Lukmai Sellup observed two minutes' silence and also prayed for speedy recovery of the injured.
In this regard, Lukmai Sellup secretary Asem Nirmala said that all those who have died in the conflict did so with the determination to protect Manipur's integrity, while making no oath of the same.
However, those who have taken the oath to protect the state are feigning ignorance or raising questions of any hidden agenda or agreement.
She questioned how many innocent lives have to be sacrificed until the oath-takers stop taking advantage.
She also enquired the reason behind the central and state governments' hesitancy in driving away the Kuki militants who are burning down Meitei villages and homes.
The security advisor must answer these questions, failing which the people would have no choice but to defend themselves.
