Reminding that Manipur is a State inhabited by different communities speaking different languages/dialects and professing different languages, Ibobi made fervent appeals to all concerned to desist from destructive activities like burning down library etc in their pursuit to impose Meetei Mayek in the State guided by their misplaced concept about Manipur.
