Imphal, December 20 2008:
THE MANIPUR People Party (MPP) today has submitted a reminder to the Chief Election Commission of India on the violation of the model of conduct in Moirang Assembly bye-election by the ruling SPF government in the state.
In the reminder, it was stated that inspite of repeated applications protesting against various cases of violation of model election code of conduction, the SPF continue to do so by processing for appointment of various posts in the Manipur police department, election campaign and other election related activities at the chief minister's bungalow, harassment of MPP candidate H Bira and his workers by the state force and partisan approach of the state force in the election campaigns and election meetings.
And no actions have been taken up against it so far, MPP lamented in the reminder to the ECI.
Contrary to the request of the party for enquiry on the matter of campaign in the chief minister's bungalow which is located in Imphal, the reminder further mention that the joint chief electoral officer has asked to DC/DEO, Bishnupur and SDO/RO, Moirang to enquire into the matter at Bishnupur.
