Imphal, April 09:
As part of the country wide Bharat Miyam Yakairol Khongchat (Awakening march) organized by the CPI, the State unit of the Left party also organised a rally today at Imphal which called for the toppling of the BJP led NDA Government at New Delhi.
Speaking at a massive public meeting at Mapal Kangjeibung after the rally, CPI national secretary Atul Kumar Anjan said that the 24 coalition party led by the BJP has destroyed everything that the country stands and the time has come for all wake up to the need to topple the Government.
Going on the offensive against the BJP led Government, Anjan said that the BJP has politicised religion and added that none of the BJP leaders can lay claim to having fought for the independence of the country.
The CPI leader further said that Th Chaoba who was elected on a regional party ticket has now switched side to the BJP which is nothing but a communal party.
The country wide rally which is being held in five States including Manipur is to save the country from falling into the abyss and from becoming a market for rich and powerful countries.
Sericulture Minister and senior State CPI leader, Dr M Nara said that ever since the BJP led NDA Government came to power four years back, the poor people of the country have been facing untold sufferings.
The ban on fresh appointment and the down sizing policy was not conjured by the SPF Government, said Nara and added that it was imposed on the State Government by the Centre under the BJP.
The NDA Government had pressured the SPF Govt to toe their lines and stop all fresh appointments, he added.
The rally which was participated by thousands of people from all walks of life started from Mapal Kangjeibung and after crossing the important routes of the capital city converged at the starting point again.
