The students were joined by Congress leader Kiran Mugabasav who made an urgent appeal for justice and peace in Manipur, outlining the demands and necessary actions to be taken.

"Apprehend all culprits involved in the viral video and register cases for all instances of rape and molestation. Necessary support should be provided to the displaced in relief camps and their rehabilitation should be facilitated. The Centre should consider implementing President's Rule until the violence subsides. Support and compassion should be extended to our Manipuri brothers and sisters to foster a sense of belonging," he said.
