Hate speech slur on Rio
The Telegraph | KHELEN THOKCHOM | Imphal, March 28:
Manipur chief minister Okram Ibobi Singh and his deputy Gaikhangam today accused Nagaland chief minister Neiphiu Rio of making "hate speech" during his election address in Senapati district yesterday to create "trouble" in Manipur.
"Ibobi Singh is driving a wedge between the Kukis and Nagas in Manipur. He has failed to protect the interest of minorities. He has set one community against another," Rio had said while campaigning for Soso Lorho, the Naga People's Front (NPF) candidate in Outer Manipur parliamentary constituency, in an election rally at the district headquarters of Senapati. "Rio is trying to disturb the communal harmony in Manipur. Communal forces are more dangerous than atom bombs. His (NPF) is a communal party," Ibobi Singh reacted while addressing an election meeting held at the private residence of Thangso Baite, the Congress's sitting MP for Outer seat, in Churachandpur, the district headquarters. Accusing Rio of “fishing in troubled waters”, he said the Ibobi Singh government was trying to bring about equal development in both the hills and the valley. A host of ministers, parliamentary secretaries and MLAs from the hills and the valley were present at the candidate’s house to project the Congress as the only neutral party.
