IMPHAL, July 11: The JAC Against the Brutal Killing of Sapam Robinhood alias Thoi who was killed in police action while taking part in a protest demonstration on July 8 demanding implementation of Inner Line Permit System in the State, has pledged to not reach agreement with the government at any cost in connection with the killing of the student.
In a statement, the JAC reiterated that the government had been repeatedly urged to enact an acceptable bill to check the rampant influx of outsiders, which has posed a serious threat to the existence of the indigenous people but the same has not been done despite passing of several Assembly sessions.
Had the government implemented Inner Line Permit System in the state, Robinhood would have been alive today. Failure on part of the state government to implement the system has led to the death of the young student, it said.
Expressing gratitude to those who are taking part in the mass protest against the killing of Robinhood who has been given the title `Yelhoumi Kanbagi Lamjing Meira`™, the statement appealed to the people to continue staging different forms of democratic protest till justice is delivered to the killing.
Many innocent people have been killed in such similar incident in the past. Later, the government would provide ex-gratia and suitable job to the next of kin in an attempt to diffuse tense situation that could arise thereof. However, the JAC will not fall prey to such cheap tactics adopted by the government, it vowed.
The JAC in the statement made it clear that it would not stop revolting till justice is delivered to the killing of Robinhood.
