evidence: Priyakanta: I won’t completely blame the police or military personnel for the trans related harassment and violence. Even the police and military personnel are the citizens of the same society that we are living in. For generations, our society has taught us to see Transgender, Gay and Lesbian people as something abhorrent and unnatural. That belief has got ingrained in everyone’s minds and persists to this day. It is the fault of the society. It is time for everyone to get all the misconceptions corrected and then everything will fall perfectly in its place. But for the violence in the region, YES, AFSPA is a major setback for Manipur and involved in most of the encounter killings. I don’t want to speak much about the military personnel but repealing AFSPA from Manipur is really necessary.
