MSAD organizes Candle light Protest at Delhi

Manipur Students’ Association Delhi (MSAD) organised a candle light protest at Faculty of Arts, Delhi University on the 10th of February condemning the Manipur Government for not taking up any appropriate action to serve justice for 2009 fake encounter case of Chungkham Sanjit and Thokchom Rabina and other extra judicial killings. MSAD would like to know if there are any hidden agendas as to why the Government of Manipur is still silent even when the culprit have confessed himself and revealed the responsible officers in that fake encounter, a press release signed by Rajeev Mairembam, General Secretary, MSAD questioned. The statement further added that it is a well-known fact that the security forces in Manipur (both state and central) are exercising extra judicial powers against the people creating a fear psychosis to the public for quite a long time. Most of their claims of encounters turned out to be extra judicial in nature. This can be vividly seen in the report of Santosh Hegde Commission submitted to the Supreme Court of India, the release reiterated. The association appealed to the people of Manipur to rise and uphold democratic rights while disclosing that MSAD is preparing for further protests with other concern organisations and students in Delhi.
