ITANAGAR, May 16: The All Arunachal Pradesh Students' Union (AAPSU) has strongly condemned the inhuman act of the Indian army which resulted in death of one innocent civilian named Lamdan Lhukam and injury to scores of others at Pumao in Longding district.
AAPSU in a press release issued on Saturday has defined the act as “unbecoming of the Indian Army” which goes against its claim of being one of the most discipline forces in the world. Mincing no words, the union has remarked that when the law keepers in a democracy terrorise its own people and take innocent lives, it negates the very purpose for what they have been assigned to in this part of the country. “The heinous crime purported by the Indian Army has severely compromised and contradicted the underlying purpose which is to maintain law & order and neutralise the underground elements, reflecting the lowest ebb of the democratic set-up,” the release read.
Alleging that random killings of innocent people from time to time by both army personnel and underground elements with impunity in the TLC region have choked the free-spirited lives of the people there, AAPSU has underscored that the recent incident has once again brought to the fore the pathetic condition of these people and also questioned the silence maintained by the elected representatives.
Appealing all the MLAs of TLC region and the state government to register a strong protest, the union has demanded exemplary punishment for those involved in the incident and an appropriate ex gratia relief by the state to the deceased and injured. AAPSU PR
