IMPHAL, January 4: Advocate Khaidem Mani has today demanded that the State government should establish an enquiry committee under the Commission of Enquiry Act 1952, to enquire into the recovery of skulls and bones at the Tombisana School premises last month.
He was speaking to the media today in an interaction session held at his residence. He said the commission may be headed by a retired High Court Judge or a retired District Judge.
Khaidem Mani said such an enquiry is very much called for, taking into account of the disappearances incidents that have taken place in the State under draconian law like the AFSPA, 1958.
Khaidem Mani who is also the secretary of Senior Citizen for Society further said that the special investigation team must highlight to the public of the findings incurred by the investing team or the enquiry commission in a transparent manner.
The people of the State have already witnessed the security personnel have in the past staged several fake encounters, and those incidents have logically infused suspicion among the people by and large, he said.
He recalled that in a conflict ridden place like Jammu and Kashmir, there have been cases of recovery of mass graveyards. He said the grave yards turned out to be of those killed by the security forces under the shadow of AFSPA.
He further demanded that the State government has claimed the site was once a mortuary. If that is the case, the government should clarify the names of those buried at the earliest, he asserted.
