SHILLONG: The children of family members of social activist Agnes Kharshiing appealed for “due space to be provided by social media during their time of critical but stable recovery.”
In a statement issued to the press here, they expressed their gratitude to the general public, NGOs, senior state government officials, family members for prayers and cooperation during their visit to NEIGRIMS hospital.
“We also express our sincere appreciation to the 1O8 Ambulance service, police and district authorities, the doctors and entire staff of Civil Hospital Jowai, and NEIGRIMS Hospital for having extended all possible help for the speedy recovery of both Kong Agnes Kharshiing and Mrs Amita Sangma,” her eldest son, Clarence Kharshiing said.
It may be mentioned that majority of the social media comments used explicit languages and endorsed the assault on Kharshiing and Sangma asserting she interfered in the livelihood of the people there.
