IMPHAL | Sept 15

The National Peoples Party needs to make a clear stand and we want deputy chief minister Y Joykumar to clarify whether he instigated his son Y Debjit to post a communal statement in the social media against the minority muslims, said president of the Manipur Muslim Welfare Organization Abdulla Pathan to mediapersons today.

The Manipur Muslim Women Organisation organised a sit in protest at Hatta blocking one side of the road demanding that the police take up stringent action against Y Debjit.

Abdullah mentioned that the action of the deputy chief minister’s son is condemned by all for his remarks and Y Joykumar should have handled his son’s misconduct. He should have given out a statement to ease the sentiment of the muslims and still he remains quit, it may be also that Y Joykumar had instigated his son to post the communal statement for political gains.

He added further that such stance will have severe implications in the upcoming polls, Pathan stated.

The MMWO also urged the police to register the complaint against Yumnam Debjit.

Meanwhile, National Identity Protection Council (NIPCO) said that the recent post on Facebook made by Yuman Devjit which “hurts the religious sentiments” of Manipuri Muslims is “uncivil and irresponsible.” The act is taken seriously by NIPCO, said a release.

Having learnt that the comment has hurt the sentiments of other communities, Devjit ought to remove the post and tender an apology by admitting his mistake, it said.

NIPCO also appeals to the Manipuri Muslim brothers that the issue should not be taken into that level of seriousness since the comments were made by an “empty-headed” individual who keeps on updating such posts at social media.

The organisation urged all to resolve the issue in a peaceful manner through discussions and take up measures to prevent such incident, as well as avoid creating disturbance in the daily life of the people, it added.

The organisation appealed to all to use social media with a sense of responsibility and abstain from giving such “inflammatory comments” against other community, it added.
