Imphal, July 28 2009:
The Manipur People's Party (MPP) has today demanded the resignation of Power Minister P Tonsing from his post for the letter which he allegedly sent to MPP Legislature Wing leader O Joy on the last day of the Assembly session yesterday.
Addressing a press conference at the party office here, the newly inducted President of MPP Dr Nimaichand Luwang alleged the involvement of the government in sending the letter to the MPP MLA O Joy.
He said it was very unfortunate that the letter mentioned the name of the MPP president besides saying that the party is receding day by day.
Saying that the Power, PHED and TD departments are the most corrupted departments in the state whether they are headed by a Meitei, a Naga or a Kuki, Dr Nimaichand Luwang said that the government seems not knowing about it.
The MPP president also demanded judicial inquiry into the matter in order to establish the truth while also demanding to file criminal case against the guilty individual/s.He said if the government fails to deliver befitting punishment against them, the matter will be highlighted to the Central leaders as well as the Governor of the state.
Meanwhile, the MPP president also expressed condemnation over the shooting of a non-local at Sawombung Kabui Khunjao yesterday by unknown gunmen.
He appealed the concerned authority to prevent the recurrence of such incident in future.
The MPP also condemned the arrest of two IRB personnel working for the KCP (MC), the involvement of IRB personnel in the killing of Prof Islamuddin, and the killing of a pregnant housewife on June 23 at a crowded Khwairamband Bazar.The MPP President further expressed condemnation over the blast at Langol View this morning, the killing of a non-local at Sagolband.
He appealed the state government to make the land peaceful.
