SHILLONG: Accusing the police for selecting the perpetrators in many arson cases, CSWO president Agnes Kharshiing stated that the incidences of petrol bomb being hurled seem to be personal vendettas and the perpetrators were very selective.
While condemning the cowardly act of arson on Saturday where a tea shop owner, Bisheshwar Das was burnt when unknown miscreants set him ablaze at Bishnupur, Kharshiing who was just released on bail on Saturday said that the attempt to pile their (Police) failure of investigation on the pro- ILP group indicates poor policing.
“Police should try to get the real culprits involved in many arson cases and they should know and apply their investigative minds as the society does not want such hooliganism ) which will harm human life,” Kharshiing said here on Sunday adding that the Home department should bring in good officers and personnel who will do their work without political interference.
She also impressed upon the need to track down the real perpetrators who are trying to take advantage of the demand for ILP in the State, and killing two birds with one stone. “It seems someone is trying to distort the ILP demand by all these dastardly acts of terrorism,” she observed.
“The demand for ILP is Constitutional and legitimate, especially when our land laws have been tampered and destroyed by some in Governance with the blessings of some bureaucrats, and some legal experts, who should be Guardians of the Government,” she added.
