Imphal, August 29 2023:
Showing strong resentment against the State Government for ignoring the plight of the people in the backdrop of the "failed" Assembly session, members of Thawai Mirel Women Wing have taken a vow to fast until death.
At Singjamei Market Shed, Thawai Mirel Women Wing co-convenor Paonam Sanahanbi told media persons that the members of the women wing have been staging relay hunger strike since the past 8-days, and they now have taken a decision to intensify their protest.
Thawai Mirel and its women wing have been urging the Government to convene an Assembly session and take resolutions to protect Manipur's integrity and end the threat being posed by the Kuki narco- terrorists, she said.
"However, the Assembly session today ended in 11 minutes without discussing and taking any resolutions that reflect our demands," she said.
The Government should at the earliest discuss the issues and take resolutions to protect Manipur.
The Government ignoring the issue is same as allowing Kuki militants to attack and kill Meiteis, she said.
Thawai Mirel Women Wing members will start a fast until death protest from tomorrow, she said.
