Imphal, September 02 2023:
Denouncing the Centre and State Government's inability to control Kuki militants, scrap Suspension of Operation (SoO) and bring peace in Manipur, people burnt effigies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Chief Minister N Biren Singh and State BJP president A Sharda at Lilong Chajing Keithel today.
The effigies were burnt during a protest demonstration organised by the Apunba Meira Paibi Lup and All Lilong Chajing Clubs Organisation.
During the protest demonstration, womenfolk appealed to the Centre to abrogate SoO it signed with the Kuki militants and effectively control the militants from attacking civilian settlements at the foothills.
They denounced both the Centre and State Government for their failure to contain the violence and bring peace even after 4 months.
The womenfolk further demanded the Government to remove the Assam Rifles from Manipur and denounced the AR for issuing notice to Maheshwar Thounaojam.
They also raised slogans demanding the resignation of the "incompetent Chief Minister" .
The womenfolk raised slogans and held placards such as "Long Live Manipur", "Abrogate SoO" and "Remove Assam Rifles" during the protest.
