Imphal, July 25 2023:
Zeme Naga Council Manipur strongly denounced the barbaric, inhumane and heinous crime that took place on May 4 where two innocent women were stripped naked, molested and paraded by the marauding mob.
In a release, the Council said that the beastly act of sexually assaulting right under the nose of the law enforcing personnel and unleashing a reign of terror has not only shattered the basic principles of democracy but also wrecked the prestige and dignity of our sister and mother beyond imagination.
Every individual involved in the ghastly crime should be given maximum punishment as per the law of the land to
ensure that justice is delivered and such acts are not committed in the future.
It urged both state and central governments to timely intervene between the two conflicting communities at the earliest possible and further clarified that the Zeme people are still maintaining neutrality.
While extending solidarity to the victim women and their family members, the council shared pain of the bereaved family.
