Ibobi warns of 'harsh steps' against UNC
The Telegraph | Imphal, Nov. 6:
Manipur chief minister Okram Ibobi Singh today cracked the whip against supporters of the ongoing economic blockade warning that the government would take “harsh steps” if the blockade continued.
Though Ibobi Singh did not specifically mention the United Naga Council (UNC), it was clear that the threat was directed to the Naga body, which has been imposing an indefinite blockade along Imphal-Dimapur and Imphal-Jiribam highways since August 21.
“The tolerable limit of the government has been stretched too far. The people of the state are suffering. There is no other alternative than taking action to reopen the highways, come what may,” Ibobi Singh told a large gathering of party workers at a daylong training programme on flagship programmes of the UPA government at Wangoi in Imphal West.
“It is very unfortunate if communities start talking ‘this is my land that yours’. All the land belongs to the government and no one can make any exclusive claim on any part of the state,” he said.
