Imphal, August 06 2023: Ex-MLA of Patsoi Constituency AK Mirabai has urged the Government to let the CBI investigate the missing case of two-teenagers who were last seen on July 6 together.

Addressing the media at Toubungkhok today, Mirabai said that Luwangbi Linthoingambi Hijam of Tera Tongbram Leikai and Phijam Hemjit of Takyel Kolom Leikai are still traceless after they dissappeared on July 6 .

Asking why the Government is not showing any commitment to trace the two-teenagers, the ex-MLA urged the Government to hand over the case to CBI so that the agency could find out what actually happened to them.

The Prime Minister had condemned the naked parade of two Kuki women and the case has also been handed to CBI, she said and added that she also condemns the incident 'but why is Narendra Modi not uttering a single word about the two teenagers' .

Aren't these two teenagers not citizens of India, she asked.

"The two Kuki women who were paraded naked have admitted that they weren't raped but as a woman I condemn the atrocity meted out to them," she said.

The ex-MLA went on to state that she and the parents of the two missing persons have already submitted a memorandum to the Governor, Chief Minister and National Commission for Women regarding the case but they couldn't even verify if they (the two missing teenagers) are dead or alive.

Saying that the Central and the State Government can end the prolonged violence in Manipur with the available Central and State security forces if they are committed to save lives and properties, AK Mirabai wondered how the Kuki militants sneaked into Kwakta yesterday in the wee hours and killed three sleeping persons despite the deployment of Central forces.

What were the Central forces doing when armed Kuki militants sneaked into Kwakta and murdered the three persons so mercilessly, she asked.

Claiming that the Assam Rifles blocked the State forces in heading towards the site of the incident, she added that the violence in Manipur started after a large number of Kuki militants and their associates burnt several Meitei houses at Torbung Bangla.

Withdraw all the Central security forces who take side amid the violence to wipe out Meiteis, she demanded.

Why is the State Government still silent when the National media houses have blamed the Meiteis for the violence without understanding the ground reality, she further asked and urged the Government to make all the media houses who published one-sided stories clarify their wrong narrative.

She also expressed suspicion that many National media houses might have been bribed to demonise the Meiteis.
