Thoubal, September 13 2023:
Khangabok Apunba Meira Paibi Lup on Wednesday organised a sit-in protest to denounce the killing of two Meetei civilians in firing by Assam Rifles at Pallel and causing injury to around 200 people at Khangabok New Market.
Speaking on the sidelines of the protest, Lup vice president Kh Sunita Devi strongly condemned high-handedness by Assam Rifles and demanded all the AR personnel involved in the incident be punished stringently and the state government should initiate a judicial enquiry.
Wondering rationale of the state government remaining silence when AR continues to assault the civilians, she demanded that CM tender resignation on moral ground if he cannot protect the lives and properties of the people.
During the protest held under the banner Sit -in-protest against atrocities toward Meitei, Biased Act and Protection of Kuki SoO Militants by Assam Rifles , the protestors held placards inscribed with slogans like Remove AR from Manipur', 'Implement NRC in Manipur', 'We condemn the assault on Meetei women by AR', 'Go back Assam Rifles', Flush out illegal immigrants' and 'Long Live Manipur' among others.
