Imphal, Apr 16:
Three members of the Kangleipak Kanba Lup (KKL) were arrested by the Imphal West police team for conducting press conference that may escalate communal tension between different communities.
The KKL activists were conducting a press conference objecting the inclusion of Chin Kuki and Meitei Pangal as indigenous people by the Govt notification.
The press were requested not to carry the news conference in view of the volatile law and order situation in the State and to avoid further escalation of any communal tension between different communities. Many newspapers didn’t report the news conference as it violates the journalistic code of ethics.
The three KKL activists arrested have been identified as Longjam Munindro (52 years) s/o L. Khelen Singh of Thangmeiband Sinam Leikai, Executive Member, Uritkhinbam Manadeva Singh (40 years) s/o U. Mani Singh of Wangkhei Konsam Leikai, General Secretary, Sougrakpam Sushilkumar Singh (45 years) s/o S. Ibomcha Singh of Singjamei Sorokhaibam Leikai.
They were produced before Court.
