In a statement, the Apunba Lup compared the Ibobi Ministry with reign of Hitler who committed war crime against Jews and the genocide of Adim Amin in Uganda and Pol Pot in Cambodia.

Reacting to the clarification issued Secretary to the Chief Minister in connection with a controversial statement allegedly made by the Chief Minister on the floor of the State Assembly, the Apunba Lup categorically stated that it was nothing but a damage control measure.

Appealing to all the people to come and take part in the protest rally and the subsequent submission of a memorandum to the Governor tomorrow, the Apunba Lup has also urged all the private hospitals and Government hospitals to extend every possible assistance in treatment of injured protestors.
