Manipur Students' Association Delhi (MSAD) strongly condemns the racial attacked on the three members of a family of Hmar community from Manipur residing in Munirka, New Delhi by the locals on 12th April 2011.
MSAD understood it as a part of deep ingrained racism persists in the mainstream Indian society towards the people of North East.
Executive members of MSAD had interacted with the victims in the hospital, one of them is critically injured.
Such inhumane act has been a daily experience for the North Easterners in the capital city, and there is indifference from the country’s law enforcing agencies.
Many of the racial oriented and sexual harassment cases are twisted by the police as ploy to defend the culprits, and deny several cases to register F.I.R as well.
MASD addresses to all the student and civil organizations from North East and other democratic bodies elsewhere believe in progressive movements to join hand in fighting against racial discrimination.
