MTM Blames National Parties on Sports University Fiasco
Imphal, 6th November 2016
Meeyamgi Thougalloi Manipiur (MTM) condemns the ongoing politics on National Sports University in Manipur. The party warns that National Sports University which was allotted to Manipur was not a gift of BJP or Congress. National Sports University is not a personal property of some politicians, so leaders should stop politicizing the issue immediately. It was achieved by the hard work and performance of Sportsperson of the state. By delaying the establishment of NSU in Manipur, both parties are disrespecting people of Manipur.
When the time is perfect to enroll students in the NSU, the visiting State MoS for YAS, Shri Vijay Goel’s remark that Yaithibi Loukol is unfavourable to start NSU is a mockery to his own government. Ever since the NSU was included in the Union budget in July 2014, series of inspection team and Ministers have been visiting the site and they were the one to finalise this location. Now, as election is around the corner, both Congress and BJP are playing politics.
There were no protests from people against the official visit by Ministers or Secretaries before. The agitation against the establishment of NSU in Yaithibi Loukon was orchestrated by State BJP leaders at public announcement on 13th October 2016.
Similarly, the people of Manipur have reasons to believe that the bandh called by residents of Khongjom to establish the NSU is also orchestrated by Congress. Both parties should stop blame game. MTM welcomes NSU to be established anywhere in Manipur, in the interest of sportsperson as early as possible.
If State BJP thinks that low laying area is the main cause for delayed in construction of Sports University in Manipur, will they also say that the Imphal-Jiribam National Highways cannot be maintained being hill area?
MTM also wants the Congress government to take strict action against organizations which are calling economic blockade and harassing people in the State. Why the Home Minister is unable to deploy additional forces along the highways and provide full security to the Trucks which are stranded near Tadubi areas.
Reiterating the Government announcement that fuel stocks will last for 15 days, despite economic blockades, why petrol pumps in the city are closed and black marketers are selling fuels illegally?
Meeyamgi Thougalloi Manipur warns that both Congress and BJP should be responsible for the present unrest in the State.
