Even as hundreds of people, student organisations, and Kuki-Zomi civil society outfits on Friday afternoon protested at Jantar Mantar in Delhi over the case of abduction, gang-rape and sexual assault of three Kuki-Zo women that came to light recently, a Meitei organisation has now accused the Delhi Police of discriminating against them by not allowing them to have their own protests in the city.
The Meitei Heritage Society, in a statement issued on July 21, said that a similar protest had been planned by Christian associations of Meitei people on July 15 but that the Delhi Police had rejected permission for this demonstration citing “security, law and order and traffic”.
The Meitei Christian Churches Council (MCCC) along with the Meitei Heritage Society were prevented from holding their event at Jantar Mantar earlier this week, following which they had gathered at the Constitution Club of India, where Meitei Christian leaders spoke to “set the record straight” about the ongoing violence in the State.
