Imphal, August 12:
DRPP president Udoi Thongam today asserted that the ongoing people's agitation for the removal of AFSPA will only worsen and create more law and order problems in the State if the State Govt does not lift the Act immediately from the State.
Interacting with media-personal at Hotel Excellency today, Udoi said that the Union Defence and Home Minister by refusing to revoke AFSPA from the State have done great injustice to the people of the State.
Reacting strongly against the Central leaders' opinion that the present public agitation in the State was being instigated by various insurgent outfits of the State, he said that the public should view the accusation very seriously and make necessary clarifications to the Central leaders immediately.
DRPP spokesman RK Anand who also spoke at the meeting asserted that AFSPA which was imposed in the State to suppress insurgency have completely failed to serve its purpose and instead insurgent groups are mushrooming like wild flowers in every part of the State.
