Imphal, March 22 2021:
Citing the case of stopping MPCC Secretary and EK Higher Secondary School Secretary P Saratchandra from taking out a solitary, peace rally within Heingang Assembly segment by police, veteran politician O Joy has alleged that the incumbent BJP-led Government is dictatorial.
Speaking to media persons at Manipur Press Club here today, Joy remarked that the way police caught hold of Saratchandra on the waist was not something new under the incumbent Government.
He said that there have been several instances of siblings of Ministers opening fire.
When siblings and relatives of Ministers committed all kinds of unlawful activities, they were conveniently overlooked but when someone takes out a peace rally, he was detained on the charge of not complying with SOP.
It only testifies that the ruling party is running a highly dictatorial Government, Joy said.
Asking what was wrong when P Saratchandra took out a solitary peace rally, the veteran politician remarked that the Government has no problem to all the wrongdoings if they were done by their own men but some other people commit anything detrimental to the ruling party, he/she is immediately arrested.
There have been several instances of arresting journalists as well as politicians, he added.
