BISWANATH: Expressing resentment against the recent incidents in the state of Manipur, several organisations took part in a solidarity day event organised in the Biswanath region of Assam.
Several organisations including the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS), All India Democratic Women's Association (AIDWA), Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) and AFI took part in this event organised on Tuesday. The leaders as well as general members of these organisations took part in the event to protest against the incident of crime against women, genocide and severe violence reported from the state of Manipur.
Speaking at the solidarity day event, the secretary of the Biswanath unit of the Communist Party spoke against the internal policies of the central government and blamed them for the conditions in the state of Manipur including the treatment given to the women. The participants also demanded that peace be restored immediately to the state and steps be taken towards ensuring punishment for those responsible for the violence.
Meanwhile, the Manipur government has taken decisive action by requesting a comprehensive report from the Assam Rifles regarding the entry of 718 Myanmar nationals, including 301 children, into India without valid travel documents between July 22 and 23. The state authorities expressed their concern over the influx of refugees and directed the border guarding force to immediately push back these illegal immigrants.
Manipur's Chief Secretary, Vineet Joshi, communicated the government's concerns to the Assam Rifles, emphasizing that strict measures were previously instructed to prevent Myanmar nationals from entering Manipur without proper visas or travel documents. Despite these instructions, the Assam Rifles reported that 718 individuals had crossed the Indo-Myanmar border and entered Manipur's Chandel district on July 23, citing ongoing clashes at Khampat as the reason for their entry.
