Imphal, Dec 1 NNN: Two villagers from Chandel district of Manipur have been allegedly assaulted by cadres of a militant outfit on Friday evening.
\nMangtinlen, a 25 year old student of Delhi University, son of Kholjathang and one Vungkam, a 50 years old man were beaten up by \u201cvalley based militants\u201d at Kholmunlen village at around 6 pm under Chakpikarong subdivision of Chandel district, according to Kuki People\u2019s Forum (KPF) of Chandel district, Kuki Chiefs Associations of Gunpi and Kana blocks, Kuki Students Organisation (KSO) of Gunpi and Kana blocks and Kuki Women Human Rights, Gunpi block.
\nThese Kuki organisations alleged that Mangtinlen and Vungkam were beaten up by the militants without any rhyme and reason. The two victims are said to be in critical condition and they have been taken elsewhere for medical attention.
\nStrongly condemning the Friday evening incident, the four Kuki organisations said such cruelty will bring nothing good in the society but \u2018negative impact.\u2019 The Kuki bodies also said militants intimidating and assaulting civilians are not revolutionaries but \u2018criminals\u2019. Without naming the militant outfit, the four Kuki organisations said the \u201cvalley based militants\u201d should stop harassing the innocent people.
\nMeanwhile, the four Kuki organisations demanded from the government to set up a security post in the area immediately so as to bring a secured atmosphere. They said the villagers are not free to carry out their chores due to the frequent intimidation from the militants.
\n\u201cIf brotherhood is to be maintained, stop harassing us,\u201d the four Kuki bodies appeal.<\/p>\n\n
