Over 500 students were present in the demonstration. The police hoodwinked the rally by taking a delegation to meet the prime minister. The rallying students awaited their delegation for over 2 hours. Engraged that the delegation was fooled, the rallying students started shouting slogans and moving to break the barricade. The unruly police took over every rein of false democracy and bashed the students. They were chased all over the area & attacked, the girls were badly abused by male cops, tear gas water canons & firing was resorted by the trigger-happy delhi police. Over 100 students were arrested by the police in parliament police station and were bashed up in the police station. More than 30 were hospitalised with head and serious injuries. Even a woman activist from action 2007 was hit by a bullet and is in hospital now, hundreds hit by the water canons and tear gas. The Manmohan govt seems to be experimenting the chinese model - Tiananmen square +SEZs+FDI= GDP growth. And the irony of all this is that over 60 action2007 activists led by Medha Patkar are jailed in Tihar Jail for violating Sec.144 for protesting on water issues on world water day at the Planning Commission - - the commission headed by bank-fellows out to . Shame these two ex - World Bank/ADB officials by sending condemnation faxes: Prime Minister of India - Dr. Manmohan Singh.

The rally is to protest against: 1.The capture and forced deportation of 400 Kuki Indian displaced persons by the Manipur valley based militant group, United National Liberation Front (UNLF) in collusion with the Myanmar military junta. The Kuki villagers were displaced due to landmines and inhumane terrorization by the UNLF. On March 13,2007 the displaced Kuki villagers were captured from the refugee camp in TS Laijang village in Chandel district of Manipur and deported them to Lallim/Namunta village in Myanmar where they remain as captives till today. The fate of the 400 Kuki Indian citizens who were forcefully deported to Myanmar is a serious crime and a gross human rights violation. 2.The ongoing human displacement caused by the terror tactics of the UNLF who tortured, torched, killed, uprooted and displaced the Kukis from their homes in the wake of the state sponsored counter-insurgency military operation in Chandel, Manipur. More than 39 villages from Chadel, Manipur have been displaced by the UNLF. The planting of destructive landmines and IEDs by the UNLF in Chandel, Manipur, which has killed 33 innocent Kuki villagers in Chandel district alone. Moreover many innocent villagers have lost their limbs to the deadly mines. 3.The unaccountable and irresponsible attitude of the Government of Manipur who still remain a silent spectator to the deteriorating serious problems of its citizens who are in crisis. The Kuki Students' Organisation requests your humble presence and appeal for your sincere participation in voicing the serious issues that is still ignored and neglected.
