Imphal, October 27 2008:
The JAC Against the Killing of Paominlal and Haokhohen has withdrawn its decision of imposing indefinite bandh from midnight today following settlement of the issue as per the customary laws of the Kuki people.
In a joint statement, JAC chairperson Rose Mangshi Haokip and secretary Zabiaksang Vaiphei informed with the concerted efforts of Pu TN Haokip and Pu Manga Vaiphei and the Chief Minister of Manipur, deadlock over the killing of Paominlal and Haokholen by the Police Commandos has been settled as per the customary laws of the Kuki people.
As a result, the decision to call an indefinite bandh in the State has been withdrawn.
The JAC has also extended its gratitude to KSO, Zillai and other organisations for their support in securing justice for the two deceased and their bereaved
families.
CCpur correspondent adds: Condemning in the strongest term the killing of two Haukhogen Misao and Paominlal Vaiphei by security forces at Maharabi on 23 October, CDSU today said such a killing in the pretext of counter insurgency is more than the act of extremism which will eventually adrift the public confidence on security forces.
