Md Kadir who is preparing to contest the upcoming 10th Manipur Legislative Assembly election was threatened by some unidentified persons with a hand grenade which was lobbed at his Yairipok Kekru Makha Leikai residence at about 9.45 pm yesterday.
However, as the grenade failed to go off, there was no casualty.
The grenade was retrieved by Yairipok Police following which a case was registered.
Taking strong exception against the attack, protest demonstrations were staged today at six different places of Wangkhem AC.
Protest demonstrations were staged at Yairipok Kekru, Phouden, Charangpat Lakshmi Bazar, Thoubal Haokha Maning Leikai, Haokha Kiyam Babu Bazar and Heiyel Loubuk.
Md Kadir said that the attack could have been guided by narrow political outlook.

UG group.
