Security personnel are political victims: Maoist Communist Party Manipur

Imphal, Sept 1: a press release of the proscribed group Maoist Communist Party Manipur claimed that the security personnel are being victimized by the political system and the politicians whom they are delegated to provide security and are made to flaunt the law on the insistence of the politicians of the state. The release further cites examples of a police officer who was mishandled by a group of security escorts of a politician in front of his own family as well as the case of the Fake encounter case which is awaiting a final verdict by the Supreme Court. Highlighting the unfortunate incidents where the security personnel were made to go beyond their call of duty to indulge in excesses emboldened by the proximity and assurances of the politicians who are then left to fend for themselves when any legal complications arise, the release appealed to the people of the state to lend support in efforts to bring the fake encounter case to its logical conclusion and also to refrain from indulging in unlawful and excessive manner at the behest of the politicians of the state.
