Enforce the law in North-East, 19 August 2009
The pictures exposed by The Tehelka magazine establish beyond any reasonable doubt that Chungkham Sanjit was shot dead in cold blood on July 23, 2009, by the Manipur police commandos. Yet, the state government failed to take any measure that would assuage pent-up public sentiment against widespread and systematic extrajudicial executions in Manipur..... If the law is allowed to take its own course, human rights violations will significantly reduce and this will win the hearts and minds of the people.
