Tamil Nadu Youth Congress too staged a protest in Chennai on Friday condemning Manipur violence. The protesters held 'Save Manipur' placards and raised slogans against the state and the Central government. 

During the protest, Youth Congress TN president Lenin Prasath as per PTI alleged, "Not only in Manipur but in several other parts of the country, weaker sections including the Dalits and minorities were being oppressed by the Saffron party."

Justice must be given to the victims, he said adding that the perpetrators of the crime should be hanged to death. 

"Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh must have already resigned. He has, however, not done that. The state government must hence be dismissed by the Centre and President's rule must be imposed," he told reporters.
