Imphal, Sept 25: When the wind over the mysterious death of Manipur youth Pravish Chanam has not been settled yet, another Manipuri youth from Thangmeiband area who went to New Delhi to take care of his ailing mother undergoing treatment at a Hospital at Kishanganj Vishwanath Kunj has been reported missing at New Delhi since September 13 this year.
A sit-in protest was staged today at Khuyathong Keithel Macha against the missing of the youth by locals of the area under the aegis of the Khuyathong Thangmeiband United Club. Congress MLA Khumukcham Joykishan of Thangmeiband Assembly Constituency also took part in the protest.
Taorem Veto of Thangmeiband area reportedly went missing on September 13 around 5 pm after he went out to buy medicine for his ailing mother undergoing treatment at the private hospital at Delhi.
Speaking on the occasion MLA Joykishan said that a missing report has been lodged at Vasant Kunj Police Station however, whereabouts of the youth still could not be found.
“North East people are treated much lower than the status of cow in this country mainly at Delhi by the present government”, Joykishan said.
He added that this is not the first time that a Manipuri youth has been missing, the mystery over the death of the Manipur boy Pravish Chanam has not yet be solved. A mere suspension of two or three police men will not deliver justice to the deceased.
Joykishan further urged the state government to urged the central government at Delhi to assure justice for all the people of the NE in new Delhi.
“The central government is not seriously taking the maltreatment of NE People at Delhi however, if a cow is slaughter than India would have been burnt by now”, Joykishan said in the state of anonymity.
