Manipur Violence: Kuki community members stage protest at Jantar Mantar

NEW DELHI: Members of the Kuki community staged a protest over Manipur barbarity on Saturday at Jantar Mantar in the national Capital. Scores of people holding placards were raising slogans demanding justice and hanging the culprits, who were involved in the instance of women from the Kuki-Zomi community being stripped, paraded, and sexually assaulted in Manipur. Meanwhile, the North East Students’ Organisation (NESO) also condemned the incident and said that such acts are outrageous, barbaric, and inhumane, which are unacceptable in a civilised society. "The fact that these women have to endure the above ordeal and disgrace in the most despicable manner is enough to send shivers down the spine of every right-thinking individual," the students’ outfit said in a statement.

The NESO also said that in every conflict or riot, women and children are the most vulnerable and frequently preyed upon. "Atrocities against helpless women and children, including abusing their modesty and dignity at any time and even at war, should never be condoned and should be condemned by one and all," it said, while demanding that all culprits involved in the senseless act be arrested and stringent punishment be meted out to them. "The NESO once again urged the different indigenous communities in Manipur and in the entire North East to maintain peace and brotherhood so as to further strengthen the age-old relationship that had been developed over the generations," it added.
