Imphal, August 21 2023:
Thangmeiband Yumnam Leikai, Meisnam Leikai and Kabrabam Leikai Meira Paibi staged sit in protest demanding punishment to those involved in Churachandpur gang rape at Thangmeiband Yumnam Leikai on Sunday.
The protestors held placards inscribed with words 'Punish the rapists', 'No separate administration' and 'Stop Kuki narco-terrorism in Manipur' among others.
Speaking on the sidelines of the protest.
Thangmeiband Apunba Nupi Lup president Laishram Gyaneshwari enquired why there is no action against those involved in the gang rape in Churachandpur on May 3 and demanded that the government arrest the culprits and punish them stringently according to the law of the land.
Recalling the mass protests launched by Meitei womenfolk against the naked parading incident which went viral on social media, she questioned rationale of Kuki women organisations for remaining silence on the gang rape of a Meetei woman in Churachandpur.
