MSAD appeals for relief of Shirui residents

MSAD (Manipur Students' Association Delhi) -

MSAD expresses heartfelt concern for the week long psychological insecurity and economic grievances superimposed upon the residents of Shirui Village in Manipur's Ukhrul District as an integral tactics of the ongoing collusion course and strategic bargaining between NSCN (IM) and Assam Rifles.

It is not the first time that India's strategic interest and security paradigm in Manipur had bent on such conspiracy and had suspended fundamental rights of the people. MSAD does not support any modus operandi that would generate psychological and physical insecurity and undermine integrity of the people of Manipur.

MSAD appeals that forces that do not adhere to the principle of integrity and sovereignty of the people of Manipur but created much political instability and insecurity upon the people do not operate in Manipur. We heard that routine activities of the students and peasants of Shirui Village are badly affected as there is suspension of freedom to move freely and enforcement of psychological threat as well.

MSAD feels sorry for those residents who could not perform their sacred seed showing festival due to the aberration. MSAD reminds that Miss Rose (March 1974), Ms. Luingamla (January 1986), Yarunui (August 1994) Kachai Village (April 1991), Ukhrul town (May 1994) and several others of Ukhrul District had been victims of state terrorism. The ongoing situation in Shirui is an extension of state terrorism in a collusion format.

MSAD expresses solidarity to the Shirui Village Non Violence Committee (SVNVC) on the issue of defending human rights. MSAD appeals to fraternal organisations, democratic forces, concerned authorities and individuals who stand for a united and progressive people of Manipur that they be united and fight for relief of the affected people; that, the residents of Shirui Village whose routine economic activities are being affected and students whose academic activities are being obliterated be rehabilitated with adequate material compensation and proper counselling.

Apunbana Yaifarae.
