Imphal, August 30 2023:
Members of Thawai Mirel Women Wing have started fast unto death stir today at Singjamei Wangma Kshetri Leikai Thongkhong.
While the organisation launched the intense stir denouncing Government's apathy towards the people and the failed Assembly session yesterday, its co-convenor Paonam Sanahanbi said the people need able civil society organisations that can point fingers at the Government for its negligence and mishandling of the present situation.
Even as the violent conflict that started on May 3 is nearly 4 months old, there seems to be no unity among the civil society organisations, she said.
Sanahanbi said all the organisations need to come together and raise the voice of the people as one.
She said if only the Government had acted responsibly, people would not have come out on the streets and stage stirs.
The people including the women are coming out on the street because of the Government's failure to protect the lives and properties of the people, she said, urging all organisations to come together.
The civil society organisations should consult the people before they take important decisions.
They shouldn't just visit Delhi when they are called before consulting the people first, she said.
