Imphal, November 05:
Kuki Students' Organisation (KSO), Sadar Hills has strongly condemned the ambush laid to kill Saikul A/C MLA Chungkhokai Doungel and his son DIG Range III Christopher Doungel on the evening November 1 between Thangkanphai and E Mulam under Saikul Sub-division while the fatherson duo were coming back after attending Kut celebration function at Saikul.
In a statement, secretary information and publicity of the student body Paoneilala Khongsai said Kut is the biggest and only post-harvest festival of the Kuki-Chin-Mizo.
So plotting to kill any person on such auspicious day is an insult to the Kuki-Chin-Mizo people in general.
The student body also demanded to know the identities of the group or persons responsible for the attack and the motive behind it.
While noting that the Saikul incident was not the first attempt to assassinate C Doungel, the student body also demanded to know what steps the Ibobi Singh led SPF Govt has taken up to find out the culprits and fervently appealed to all the people to condemn such barbaric act in the strongest term.
