The sitting congress MP in Lok Sabha, Thokchom Meinya from Manipur attributed the violent death to racial profiling of people of the North East. “They feel alienated...Such a feeling is highly injurious to our National Unity and integrity,” he said in the Lok Sabha adding that even as an elected MP he faces problems even from the security guards in the Parliament. The worst part is the response of the law enforcing agencies and especially the police. In fact, in 2007 the Delhi police created a flutter when it counselled North East people on what to wear and what not to eat.
