SHILLONG, Nov 27: The Khasi Jaintia Christian Leaders’ Forum (KJCLF) on Sunday made a fervent appeal to all communities and organisations in the state to uphold calm and restraint in their quest for a solution – which cannot be obtained by violence and unruly activities.
In a statement, the KJCLF said it shared the torment of the bereaved families affected by the tragedy at Mukroh village and the agony of the communities and groups who have reacted in diverse ways at different locations in the past few days.
“Great unease has been caused to normal livelihood activities and especially to students with their studies and exams. Those miscreants who taint and spoil the name and dignity of the movements for justice should be brought to book,” the statement said.
The KJCLF also urged the state government to show its efficiency and compassion as it follows up on the solutions to bring back normalcy as quickly as possible.
The Shillong All Faith Forum (SAFF) also appealed for peace and tranquility in the state.
The SAFF held a prayer meeting to pray for the departed souls and to condemn the Mukroh killings. It also demanded punishment against the perpetrators.
