Imphal, September 28 2009:
Asserting that some people belonging to a particular Assembly segment have been fiddling with the common issues of the people in the name of Meira Paibi and clubs, the Working Committee of the Apunba Lup has asked the particular group not to play with people's sentiment.
A press release issued by the Apunba Lup called upon the deviants not to go crazy after some material benefits.
It reminded that they too are people of the state.
The Apunba Lup asked the deviants to work either as genuine Meira Paibis/club activists or flatterers of Okram Ibobi but not to play ambiguous roles.
The ugly scenario is a result of the thoughtless policy of driving wedges among the people by a very low level of politics with their views confined to only one or two constituencies.
Asking Okram Ibobi not to use people as scapegoat to hold on to the Chief Minister's post, the Apunba Lup asserted that who is inept in administration should resign.
The activists may be slapped with NSA or any other act but the people's movement for justice against the Khwairamband killing will be carried forward relentlessly until Ibobi resigns from his post, the Apunba Lup stated.
Alleging that O Ibobi has now started targeting media, the Apunba Lup decried the act of rowdyism undertaken by a group of people hired by Ibobi and escorted by state force at media offices.
All those opposing the freedom of press are enemies of the people.
They may compared to frogs in well who are yet to see the light of civilization.
Threats could not silence the media nor it could derail the people's movement, it stated.
The Apunba Lup further reminded that the bereaved families of Sanjit and Rabina are yet to perform the last rites of their beloved ones.
Those injured in the brutal firing are yet to recuperate.
Many other who sustained severe injuries in the course of the people's movement are enduring pain and grief in hospital rooms.
