Imphal, February 18:
All Manipur Student Union (AMSU), Imphal East District has congratulate all the State players who have successfully participated in the just concluded 33rd National Games held at Gauwahati.
Inspite of being neglected by the Government, they have out-shoned players of other States in various disciplines with sheer grit and determination, information and publicity secretary of the Committee RK Sanayaima said in a statement, adding that the State players have once again proved that Manipur is �power house� of sports in India.
While noting that many Manipuri players who participated in the National Games by representing other States too have won medals, the student body lamented over the alleged discriminatory attitude of the Government of India toward the players from North Eastern States and Manipur in particular.
The student body has also drawn the attention of the State Government for encouraging the State players who have brought laurels to the State by way of giving incentive awards.
