The Meitei Society Churachandpur has vehemently condemned the gun attack on an inmate of a relief camp which occurred on Wednesday.
Sawaijam Dhanabir Meitei, a resident of Churachandpur and presently staying at Thanga Wangma Releif Camp, was attacked by armed miscreants on May 8 leading to five bullet injuries on his body.
Speaking to the media during a press conference held at the Manipur Press Club in Imphal, N Ramesh Singh, general secretary of Meitei Society Churachandpur, expressed outrage over the attack.
Even if Dhanabir had committed any crime or offence against anyone, he should have been given a chance to explain the situation and resolve the issue peacefully, Ramesh said.
"Using a gun to attack someone with an attempt on life is utterly condemnable", the general secretary of the Meitei Society Churachandpur said.
He said that the victim is a displaced person and he endured many pains due to he conflict.
Ramesh then called upon those responsible for the attack to clarify their motives and urged the authorities for proper security to prevent any such incidents in the future.
