Imphal, March 24 2009:
Sitting MP Dr T Meinya named as the Cong candidate for the forthcoming Lok Sabha election from Inner Manipur Parliamentary Constituency arrived at Imphal from New Delhi today.
On his arrival at Tulihal Airport by an Indian Airlines flight here this afternoon, Dr Meinya was accorded a warm welcome by the people of his native village and many Congress workers.
Later talking to mediapersons, Dr Meinya said he would be studying the election manifesto of the party before making any commitment on the works to be carried out for the people.
Condemning the incident of targeting Congress workers, the MP also appealed to all concerned to ensure such unfortunate incident is not repeated.
General secretary of Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) Bidyapati Senjam who was also present at the reception observed that awarding the party ticket to sitting MP Dr Meinya for contesting in the Lok Sabha election from the Inner Parliamentary Constituency once again is the right decision of the Congress High Command.
