Hmar Students Association (JHQ) Delhi condemns the killing of Mrs Donngaihching

THE Hmar Students Association, Joint Headquarters, Delhi strongly condemns the heinous act of violence committed in Imphal, the capital of Manipur, where Mrs. Donngaihching, a mentally-challenged tribal woman from the Kuki-Hmar-Zomi-Mizo communities was shot dead by unidentified Meitei militants near Shishu Nishtha Niketan school, Kwakeithel, Imphal West, Manipur on the 6th July, 2023.

This atrocious act, committed in broad daylight, is a gross violation of humanity and a clear indication of the deteriorating law and order situation in Manipur. The fact that Mrs. Donngaihching is a mentally challenged woman makes this act even more reprehensible and disgraceful.

We also vehemently denounce the false narratives propagated by certain Meitei groups in accusing Mrs. Dongaihching of being “suicide bomber”. Such baseless allegations promulgated by the Meiteis is a direct indication of their devious intention to divert attention from the real issue at hand to further victimise the already mentally incapacitated person.

We also question the competency of the state government of Manipur led by N Biren Singh in handling the grave situation that has unfolded in the state. The inability of the state government to protect the innocent lives of its citizens, particularly the vulnerable sections of society, raises serious concerns about the effectiveness and efficiency of the state administration system. Therefore, in view of the deteriorating law and order situation in Manipur, the HSA JHQ, Delhi calls for the swift removal of Chief Minister N Biren Singh and the implementation of President's Rule in the state of Manipur to ensure the safety of all citizens.

In conclusion, the Hmar Students Association Joint Headquarters, Delhi extends its deepest condolence to the family and loved ones of Mrs. Donngaihching. We share the grief of the victim’s family and stand in solidarity with the Kuki-Hmar-Zomi-Mizo community in demanding justice for Mrs. Dongaihching and all the innocent lives lost till date.

We also reiterate our unwavering commitment in upholding the unity of the Kuki-Hmar-Zomi-Mizo communities in our pursuit towards a future where every community can thrive in peace and harmony.

May the soul of Mrs. Dongaihching rest in eternal peace and may her tragic incident serve as a catalyst for change and justice.
