Imphal, June 01 2018:
People Resurgence and Justice Alliance (PRJA) workers have threatened to launch various forms of agitation if the party's convenor Erendro Leichombam is not released unconditionally at the earliest.
Speaking to media persons at Manipur Press Club today, PRJA joint secretary Samananda Khangembam accused the State Government of arresting Erendro Leichombam on May 26, for sharing and posting some comments in connection with an inflammatory video which was uploaded by some non locals, without even issuing an arrest warrant.
Erendro was remanded to police custody for three days and on May 28 he was produced before the Court and remanded to further 15 days in judicial custody.
Demanding the authority concerned to release Erendro unconditionally at the earliest, Samananda conveyed that the stand taken by Erendro is a stand for the welfare of the indigenous people of Manipur and as such his stand should be supported by the Opposition parties, CSOs, general public.
He added that PRJA has made necessary preparations to launch intense protest if the authority concerned fails to release Erendro at the earliest.
