Even war has an ethics. These NGAthu community were not even human beings kiling women (mentally challenged), old & youngs, burning an ailing child along with his mother with the ambulance!
Beware, the Almighty God is watching……

It has been found from postmortem report that the deceased was a man dressed as a woman. What was a kuki man dressed as a meitei woman doing in the school premises. As per reports she (allegedly he) had documents to bomb these innocent children’s school. But in the media these kuki are spreading lies. Without reason there will b no killing. One cannot clap with one hand.
