A sit-in protest was staged by womenfolk of Salungpham on Saturday denouncing filing of an FIR by National Investigation Agency (NIA) against Arambai Tenggol leader Korounganba Khuman.
Speaking to media persons, one meira paibi activist identified as Thingbaijam Nganbiton Leima stated that central forces cannot be allowed to harass village volunteers who staked their lives to protect Manipur at a time when security forces were acting just like paper tiger.
They strongly opposed filing of an FIR against AT leader Korounganba Khuman, who has been sincerely working to protect the territorial integrity of state since eruption of ongoing conflict on May 3, 2023, she asserted, while demanding that the FIR be immediately withdrawn.
Nganbiton continued that mothers know the major role played by Korounganba for Manipur and will not allow even one strand of his hair getting damaged.
If the NIA's FIR is not withdrawn then womenfolk will resort to various forms of agitations and are even ready to sacrifice their lives if needed.
During the protest, the womenfolk also chanted slogans like "We oppose filing of FIR against Korounganba by NIA," "The FIR should be immediately withdrawn," etc.
