Shillong, June 18: The National People’s Party (NPP) condemns the inaction and inability by the hopeless MUA Government in locating and arresting the rape accused Nurul Islam who is responsible for the rape of two minor sisters at Ampati Police Station on March 13th and May 31st.
It is a matter of great shame that such a crime was committed in the constituency of Chief Minister and instead of monitoring the situation himself and seeing to it that the accused is arrested immediately and brought to justice, CM is again camping in Delhi.
This begs the question whether the soft pedaling and shoddy investigation being carried out is because as per some reports, the accused S.I. Nurul Islam is related to the Chief Minister Dr. Mukul Sangma from his mother Roshanara Begum’s side, alleged James K Sangma MLA SpokespersonNational People’s Party (NPP).
At the same time, NPP also condemn the hypocrisy of the MUA government on its empty talk on tackling the rising cases of Rape in the State. The reality is contrary to this because Rape cases are rising at a meteoric rate and all the cases of Rape are still hanging fire with absolutely no conviction.
The Government seems to be content with its obligation of giving a meager compensation of Rs. 50,000 to the rape victims.
The NPP believes that the biggest deterrent to such crimes is conviction and punishment, which can only be initiated if the accused is arrested in the first place. The NPP therefore demand that the MUA Government take this case seriously and immediately arrest Nurul Islam and other persons accused of Rape in our State.(SP News)
