Imphal, January 23 2016 :
MLA Th Bishwajit has asserted that fellow BJP MLA Kh Joykishan disrupted construction of a temporary market shed on Thangal Bazar road in protest against the State Government's whimsical nature of doing things, not because he has anything against women vendors of Khwairamband market.
Construction of temporary market shed on the busy Thangal Bazar road even as an order was issued for construction of temporary market complex at Hao Keithel seven years back smacks of sheer arrogance and irresponsibility, decried the newly elected MLA.
Speaking to media persons today, Bishwajit asked why Joykishan was singled out and arrested while none of his companions were pulled up.
There was not a single report about arrest of citizens in the past in connection with promulgation of prohibitory orders under CrPC 144 .
Bishwajit asserted that what Joykishan did was in the interest of all the people of Manipur, and the Government cannot simply browbeat its way just because it has power.
He then suggested the Government to construct the temporary market at an appropriate place rather than at congested places.
Meanwhile BJP Manipur Pradesh president Th Chaoba has suggested the State Government to convene an all political parties' meeting in order to resolve the Ima Market issue at the earliest.
A press release issued by the BJP leader maintained that arrest of MLA Joykishan cannot be a solution to the issue.
