Imphal, May 7 : A sit in protest against the attack on Mala Lisham Chairperson child welfare committee, Thoubal was held at Palace compound today.
A protester said, it is very unfortunate as an uniform attempted to murder a woman who is fighting for orphans. The govt should convey those who involved in the incident.
She also demanded life imprisonment. Condemning the recent life attempt on Mala Lisham, chairperson, Child Welfare Committee for Thoubal district by a gunman, who happens to be a police constable attached to Narcotic Cells, Imphal West, the AZSU, ZUF and ZSUM accused that the act was another glaring example of some police personnel working at the behest of anti social elements.
NNN adds the Zeliangrong Youth Front, All Zeliangrong Students’ Union and Zeliangrong Students’ Union, Manipur, said the police should reveal to the general public in details about all information extracted from the accused Md. Basir Ahmad without concealing even an iota of facts on the reasons behind and circumstances leading to carrying out the gun attack on a lawful citizen who works for the welfare of children.
They also said the duty of a police man is to protect and secure the life of citizens but attacking innocent person with gun is strongly condemned by ZYF, AZSU and ZSUM.
Alleging that accused Md. Basir Ahmad is a mere constable drawing meager amount as monthly salary but owns assets which are not commensurate to his known source of income, the Zeliangrong bodies demanded for a probe into his properties and make it public.
They further demanded that Government of Manipur prove the basis and background on granting of licensed gun to a constable like Ahmad.
In Manipur, most of the crimes such as killing of innocent persons, raping women, drugs smuggling are involved and committed by security personnel like the police commandos, personnel of India Reserve Battalion, Manipur Rifles and sometimes by other Central forces, AZSU, ZYF and ZSUM further accused.
They also alleged that such crimes have clearly indicated that some of the security personnel are working as paid hire men for killing innocents in connivance with anti social elements and asked if it is because of ineffectiveness of the State Government in dealing with such cases that involved security personnel in the criminal activities.
Paying compensation after killing innocents is not what the citizens want from the government but putting an end to such criminal activities, the Zeliangrong bodies said and demanded the government act strongly in accordance with the law of the land to avoid such criminal activities in future.
