Imphal, April 17 2009:
The MPP President Dr L Chandramani today said that the MPP is fielding a candidate for the coming Lok Sabha election in inner Manipur with a mission, a mission to facilitate a change in Manipur while urging the electorates to support the candidate in the election.
Dr Chandramani was addressing an election related meeting organised by the MPP Sagolband Kendra at Ebudhou Maplangba Community hall, Sagolband Moirang Leirak.
He said that the party is committed for the protection of the territorial integrity, to save the state from daily killing incidents and to usher in peaceful coexistence among the different communities of the state.
Several slogans have been shouted and even armed rebellion has come out against the merger of Manipur into the Indian Union in 1949, Chandramani said.
He alleged the Congress of causing such unrest in the state.
He said the MPP had initiated a means to bring solution to the armed rebellion in 1972 when the party was in power in the state by announcing general amnesty.
But the Congress government has defied all the initiatives.
Further, Chandramani said that the MPP had began raising the alarm that the Congress is contemplating to break the integrity of Manipur 25 years back.
Today the threat comes in the person of Mani Charenamei who openly advocates for the integration of Naga area at the cost of Manipur territory in the Parliament.
However, his counterpart, T Meinya of the Congress doesn't bother to raise voice against the threat.
He said, as such, the MPP is fielding Th Chaoba to counter any such open threat in the Parliament.
The MPP supreme also said that the Congress and the CPI leaders have been deceiving the people of Manipur by making false promises to the people of Manipur and making contrasting statement at other parts of the country.
He also urged the people to teach Ibobi a lesson in the coming election for misleading the people like in the ongoing Army operation at Loktak.
During the short formation of government by the MPP, RIMS was established, had facilitated Government Polytechnique, ITI, MU, BOSEM, MPSC, installed a 132-KV power station at Yurembam, constructed dams, constructed Hicham Yaichampat, Sahid Minar, Khongjom War Memorial, etc, Dr Chandramani claimed while wondering what the Congress and the CPI had done for the people so far.
He said that the Congress make a false claim by saying that the Assam Rifles in Kangla were shifted by the Congress.
He said the process of shifting the AR was initiated during the time when Thoithoi was a minister.
Dr Chandramani added that the AR were shifted after several women striped naked in front of the gate in the backdrop of the killing of Manorama.
MPP Legislature Wing leader O Joy said that the people will not tolerate the attitude of the Congress and the CPI in killings people and it is pertinent to ask them their motives.
He said that the Congress MP T Meinya was unable to stand against the outer MP Mani Charenamei when he spoke for the Naga integration in the Parliament at the cost of Manipur integrity.
He also said that Dr Nara is an SPF convenor and is also a part of the government that kills.
