Imphal, September 24 2016:
Mayang Imphal Municipal Council Councillor W Janeshori has decried the aggressive acts allegedly carried out by supporters of Education Minister Dr Kh Ratankumar when a booth level meeting of Mayang Imphal BJP Mandal was being held.
Speaking to media persons at her residence today, Janeshori said that a booth level meeting of aspiring BJP candidate K Robindro was held at her residence on September 24 .
As the meeting was going on, Ratan came to the house of a neighbour Wangjam Meino in the name of visiting a sick person. Just before the Minister arrived there, around 20 rounds of gun shots were heard on the western side of ; the Councillor's residence, Later, one Meinam Khelen came to the house of; Wangjam Meino which only resulted in a heated alterca- tion between Khellen and Meino's sons
(Sunil and Somen) .
Khelen is said to be the secretary of the Mayang Imphal Clubs Coordination Committee.
On the other hand, Mayang Imphal BJP Mandal, OBC Morcha president S Ibochouba Sharma was detained by Mayang Imphal police for around one hour and a half without giving any reason, Janeshori alleged.
Mayang Imphal BJP Mandal president Irom Ravi alleged that Meinam Khellen was actively engaged in electoral politics while still holding the post of secretary for the Mayang Imphal Clubs Coordination Committee.
Minister Ratankumar's visit to the neighbouring house when the meeting was going on smacked of an ulterior motive to disrupt the meeang.
