Imphal: Manipur government in a public appeal issued on Friday warned that it will prosecute, without exception, those involved or provocating in creating law and order situation in public rally, against chief minister N. Biren Singh.
Kuki organisations had announced to take up nationwide rally at Kangpokpi on Saturday.
Kuki Students’ Organisation Sadar Hills had declared to support the nationwide rally against the chief minister’s recent revelation of leaked Audio tape.
“The leaked audio tape provide an ample evidence of N.Biren Singh involvement in the ethnic cleaning against the native Tribal Kukis across Manipur in forceful occupation of Kuki occupied area.”
Commissioner (Home) N. Ashok Kumar in the public appeal made on Friday said the state government came to notice about one Public notice issued by Zomi Students’ Federation on August 26 regarding organising a Public rally at Kangpokpi on Saturday, and another notice issued by Kuki Students’ Organisation on Thursday, urging to shut down all business establishments, government offices and private institutions and join the rally.
The commissioner in the public appeal said the state government has issued necessary instruction to take up necessary preventive and precautionary measures along with robust response mechanism to avoid any untoward incident and maintain law and order in the state.
“Any such act of issuing Public Notice for organizing mass rally and urging to shut down institutions which can pose grave impact on the prevailing law and order situation and which are likely to pose serious repercussions in the context of the ongoing law and order crisis in the state, is viewed very seriously by the state Government with utmost sensitivity.”
The commissioner appealed to the general public including public functionaries to keep all business establishments, government offices and private institutions open and function normally.
He asked all heads of the central and state government institutions to issue necessary instructions to normally function their institutions during the rally.
“Anybody found involved or provocating in creating law and order situation in this regard shall be prosecuted without exception under relevant provisions of laws of the land.”
On May 3, last year, a Kuki body organised a rally, turned violent attacking Meitei villages with support of armed militants, which sparked the present crisis in the state.
