The Chandel Naga People’s Organisation (CNPO), while praying for a peaceful coexistence in Manipur, has condemned the recent incidents of killings in Jiribam district.
A press release by the Information & Publicity, CNPO, stated that the growing magnitude of violence on account of ethnic conflict since May 3, 2023 has gone from bad to worse unabated.
And while violence is a threat to everyone as well as a serious public concern, violence against innocent and helpless children and women are the most appalling, cowardice and barbaric, the CNPO stated.
Pointing out the unfortunate incidents of a woman being burnt after she was allegedly raped and killed and of the kidnapping of women and children from relief camp in Jiribam who were later found murdered, the CNPO stated that such barbaric acts, which are shameful and uncomfortable to assume or even speak about, are actually happening in reality in our state.
The Office of the Chandel Naga People’s Organisation (CNPO) once again pray for Peace, Tranquillity, Understanding and Harmony between all the communities, it stated.
The CNPO will constantly and persistently stand and support the principal of peaceful coexistence. However, it strongly condemns such inhumane act of raping, torture and murdering of innocent and helpless children and women by terming it as “the most Shameful & Primitive Act”, the CNPO stated while calling for giving peace a chance.
