Imphal, February 25 2009:
Pitching in strongly against the NSCN (IM) for brutally killing the SDO of Kasom Khullen and his driver and a Mandal by cadres of the outfit in total violation of the ceasefire pact, Lok Sabha MP Dr T Meinya today raised the issue during Zero Hour on the floor of the Lok Sabha.
Addressing the House, the MP from Manipur said that the NSCN (IM) has violated the ceasefire between the Government of India and the outfit.
"The wilful murder of one SDO, his driver and one Mandal in Manipur by the NSCN (IM) cadres is nothing but breach of trust and violation of the existing Ceasefire Agreement," said Dr T Meinya.
"The NSCN (IM) has admitted that the brutal murder was committed by their cadres and one Lt Col and his men are responsible for the crime," said the MP.
The alleged culprits should be handed over to the authority concerned, demanded the MP.
Dr Meinya also urged the Government of India to pull up the NSCN (IM) for the dastardly crime and for violating the Ceasefire Agreement.
"This amounts to breach of trust while the peaceful negotiation is taking place between the NSCN (IM) and the Government of India," pointed out Dr T Meinya.
"All the culprits should be handed over to the authority concerned and they must be tried and punished according to the law of the land," demanded Dr Meinya.
