HNS/IMPHAL, Feb 15: Decrying increasing violent
activities including rape and murder committed against the people from north
east States at different parts of the country, a sit-in-protest demonstration
was staged under the aegis of Students' Christian Movement of India(NEI) in
front of Thangkhul Church, Chingmeirong here today.
Speaking to media persons on the sidelines of the
protest demonstration, Shalom L Ralsun, secretary of Students Movement of
India, North East said north eastern people are also just like any other Indian
residing in different parts of the country and have equal rights. But they are
being targeted because of their different look, food habit and lifestyle.
He demanded an Anti-Racial Discrimination Bill be
passed by the Central Government at the earliest for ensuring protection to the
north eastern people residing in different parts of the country.
Several placards inscribed with slogans like, 'We
Want Peace, We Want Truth', 'We Condemn Discrimination', 'Pass Anti-Racial
Discrimination Bill' etc were used during the protest demonstration.
