The All Manipur Women's Social Reformation and Development Samaj (Nupi Samaj) staged a sit in protest at Keishampat Leimajam Leikai today and urged the authorities concerned to penalise the Kuki miscreants who allegedly raped a Meitei woman in Churachandpur on May 3.The protest demonstration was held under the banner "We Want Justice, Book and Punish Kuki Rapists, Govt of India-Shame, Shame and Govt of India Remain-Why, Why?".
Speaking to the media, Nupi Samaj president Thokchom Ramani said that they can longer live with the people who can even murder sleeping individuals in the most inhumane way and as such they must be ousted from Manipur.
She also said that they will raise their voice until their demand is met.
Saying that Kuki militants have killed many innocent Meiteis and torched thousands of houses and other structures, Ramani maintained that peace and normalcy will never return in Manipur until and unless illegal Kuki immigrants and Assam Rifles are removed and ousted from the State.
The present movement of the Meiteis is to protect Manipur, she added.
Placards reading "Control Kuki militants under SoO pact", "No Golden Triangle in Manipur" and "No Political Rights to Illegal Immigrants" were used among others.
