Imphal, February 11 2016:
Manipur Students' Association Delhi organised a candle light protest at Faculty of Arts, Delhi University today condemning the Manipur Government for not taking up any appropriate action to serve justice to 2009 fake encounter killing of Chungkham Sanjit and Thokchom Rabina and other extra judicial killings.
In a statement, MSAD asked if there were any hidden agendas as to why the Government of Manipur is still silent even when the culprit has confessed and revealed the responsible officers in that fake encounter.
It is a well-known fact that both State and Central security forces in Manipur have been exercising extra judicial power against the people creating a fear psychosis to public for quite a long time.
Most of their claims of encounter turn out to be extra judicial in nature.
This can be vividly seen in the report of Santosh Hegde Commission submitted to the Supreme Court of India, it said.
It appealed to the people of Manipur to rise and uphold democratic rights.
MSAD is preparing for further protest with other concern organisations and students in Delhi.
