Representatives of the Committee on Mass Protest against Assam Rifles on Wednesday submitted a 10-point memorandum, demanding the imposition of uniform state laws in all corners of Manipur and deploying state forces to affected areas, including Churachandpur, Moreh, Kangpokpi and many more.
The committee also demanded the complete withdrawal and removal of Assam Rifles from Manipur and punish AR personnel who indulged in excessive atrocities towards women protesters under relevant laws.
Members of the committee flocked in front of the governor’s office on Wednesday holding placards reading ‘Stop using Indian security forces against Meiteis’, ‘Go Back Assam Rifles’, among others.
