Imphal, July 26 2013 :
Newly elected office-bearers of Naga People's Front (NPF), Manipur State unit's youth, women wings and the party's Churachandpur division took oath on Friday during an impressive function held at Tribal Research Institute, Chingmeirong in Imphal.
State unit NPF president Soso Lorho administered the oath to the new office-bearers during the ceremony.
Robert Maram and H Worthing were elected president and general secretary respectively for the NPF youth wing.
K Henga Lirina and SP Ngamreiphy were chosen president and general secretary of the women wing with Gelunthang Vaiphei as president of Churachandpur district, NPF Manipur unit.
UKhrul constituency MLA Samuel Risom and Chandel constituency MLA Victor Nunglung were also present during the swearing-in ceremony.
Samuel while addressing the function said peace has been gradually restored in Manipur since NPF came in the state.
He said the unleashing violence that the people have witnessed in the state is nothing but a weak sign of the Congress Government.
Samuel said NPF is a secular political party because its ideology is based on oneness.
The NPF MLA said Nagaland was ruled by the Congress for several years owing to which violence incidents occurred unabatedly in that state too.
Now, Nagaland is ruled by NPF and law and order situation in that state has considerably improved, he said.
Samuel said NPF will always go mutually with other political parties that love Manipur and expressed confidence that the party will sweep the next Lok Sabha elections in the state.
He informed that the party will put up common candidates for the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls after forging alliance with other like-minded parties in the state.
