A clash occurred yesterday between workers of BJP and Heirok Youth Congress Committee (HYCC) at Heirok kendra under Thoubal District. According to report, the incident happened when a few HYCC members were returning home after work when they were attacked by BJP workers, and HYCC alleged that instead of taking up an investigation into the incident, police personnel who were present during the incident chased away the youth congress workers instead.
HYCC President M.Tomthin, speaking to the media at its office states that as part of an ongoing initiative to help the homeless in Heirok by helping build houses for the homeless so that they feel settled, two completed houses which could not be handed over to the beneficiaries earlier due to the persistent rain were handed over yesterday at Heirok Kabo Leikai, and the members were accosted on their way back at Champra thong by some BJP workers, and two Youth Congress members sustained injuries in the ensuing physical assault.
Tomthin also alleged that an MR police personnel from Heirok Bazar identified as Ningthoujam Helen who is also a BJP worker along with one Ningthoujam Gopen led the group of attackers, and the Heirok Police OC who was at the vicinity, instead of questioning the attackers, started chasing away the HYCC members including the two injured, while condemning the clear display of partiality and inaction of the police personnel who are sworn to safeguard the public without distinction.
