IMPHAL, Nov2: The All Naga Students’ Association, Manipur (ANSAM) strongly condemned the attack on Monsang Naga student leaders on the night of October 30 near Kakching Lamkhai and Pallel, describing it as a “barbaric, cowardly and premeditated attempt on life.” The victims included Gideon Kiiri, president of STS (Monsang Naga Students’ Union), Wanglar Phillip, general secretary and senior leaders Ts Hollyson and Th Moni.
In a statement, ANSAM alleged that the students were brutally assaulted in an act intended to intimidate and destabilise the Naga student community. The association called the attack a direct assault on the unity, honour and peace-loving nature of the Monsang Naga people.
ANSAM demanded immediate and decisive action from law enforcement to apprehend the culprits and deliver justice, warning that any delay would be seen as complicity. The association affirmed its unwavering solidarity with the Monsang Naga student leaders and vowed to ensure justice prevails.
This incident, ANSAM stated, is not isolated but an attack on the student fraternity and the principle of peaceful coexistence. (NNN)
