Imphal, September 15 2013:
A hurriedly convened meeting of Jamiat Ulama-i Manipur held today at its Babupara office with Ulama president Moulana Sayed Ahmad chairing the session strongly condemned the brutal killing of nine innocent labourers in the september 13 bomb attack at Khoyathong area.
Noting that the labourers, mostly non locals, were preparing to have dinner at their temporary work shed when the explosion occurred at around 8 pm, a Jamiat Ulama-i release said its members visited Shija Hospital, Langol to enquire conditions of those injured in the blast and extended financial assistance to the victims.
The Jamiat members also visited City Convention Centre, Imphal East where the other injured non local workers are taking shelter after their discharge from the hospital, the release said Jamiat considers that attack as cowardly and barbaric as the targeted labourers belong to the economically backward minority Muslim community.
