Punish the criminal

It is really sad that the state Government pleads the inability to arrest a criminal. Criminals cannot remain above law. Criminals are criminals.

It is really sad that the state Government pleads the inability to arrest a criminal. Criminals cannot remain above law. Criminals are criminals. Whatever position they hold wherever they belong they must be caught and punished without delay. For the delay in giving punishment to the perpetrator of the crime will backfire. The state is now burning caused by the wild and thoughtless action of a member of an underground organisation. Just as Afghanistan was reduced to ashes following irresponsible acts of Taliban the rebel organisation to which the mad dog belongs too will suffer the same fate. NSCN can save its image by punishing Livingstone who is responsible for burning the state. Every organisation attempts to lift its own image by pushing away those whose presence will drag down the organisation. Political parties maintain political propriety by keeping itself abreast of criminals. We hear quite often leaders of political parties expelling members of the same party found indulging in criminal activities. That way image of the party is lifted. Self styled Lt. Col. of NSCN, Livingstone had committed a heinous crime by molesting a film star, who was engaged for conducting a musical concert. He even fired to those who intervened. He acted like a mad dog attempting to bite everyone around him. Cannot he be tranquilised? Even the wild animal is tranquilised by injecting tranquiliser. Something needs to be done to restore normalcy. Either he should be jailed or NSCN should punish him. In Mahabharat of Hindu mythology Dushashan had his chest torn apart by Bhim and Drapaudi washed her hair with the blood that came out oozing from the torn chest. His crime was he harassed Drapaudi by pulling her sari in a well attended durbar. Livingstone emulated Dushashan’s crime. He forgot where he was and he threw in the wind public decency. He could pull the hair of a girl in full public view. He must pay for the crime committed. He is not fit to be member of any organisation be it underground whatsoever it may be. NSCN must act and expel him from the organisation. In the meanwhile the state Government should leave no stone unturned to punish the mad dog. Our Government cannot plead the inability to touch the thug. There cannot be separate laws to deal with different persons. Female must feel safe living in Manipur. The episode has enflamed the angers of womenfolk and they took to the street demanding punishment for the criminal. Today large number of women came out on the street in different areas and blocked movement of vehicles. Both NSCN and the state Government should feel the harm done to a female artiste. Wounded hearts need to be healed. Chief Minister O. Ibobi had gone to Delhi to meet central leaders to find ways for punishing the molester. Something will surely come of out it. As the NSCN is holding peace talk with the Union Government the state Government is handicapped to take action against the NSCN cadre. How long he will remain elusive. He will be caught. The punishment being meted out should be exemplary so that he will not think of committing the crime again.

KANGPOKPI, Dec.24:  Sadar Hills Women Union have condemned the 18 Dec. incident at Maha Union Higher Secondary School ground, Chandel district headquarters where Manipuri film actress Momoko was molested and assaulted and firing at two other artistes by NSCN-IM Lt Col Livinstone.

Now is the time particularly for the Christian community to celebrate the Birth of Jesus Christ with peace and harmony in the entire state. The scandalous and detestable act of Livingstone is totally against the doctrine of Christianity and disrupts the environment ahead of Christmas informed the Information and Publicity wing of SHWU.

It further said that, the Union supports the indefinite bandh in the State called by Film Forum Manipur, Manipur State Shumang Leela Council and many civil society organizations.

The Union also appealed to the Government to ensure that no such malevolent incidents ever happen again in the future and also appealed to every single individual not to disrupt the peaceful environment of the state ahead and during Christmas and New Year celebration in the interest of the Christian community.
