Imphal, February 03 2016:
CPI Terakhong Branch has clarified that no CPI members of the branch have joined INC as was published in print media yesterday.
CPI Terakhong branch secretary Kh Krishnagopal in a statement said the report of 24 CPI members joining INC as published in certain newspapers yesterday is incorrect.
In the meantime, two CPI ward councillors of Kumbi Municipal Council have also refuted the report.
They said the news report about Kumbi A/C MLA S Bira welcoming CPI members into INC are completely false and fabricated.
Kumbi a/c Ward no 9 councillor Wahengbam Bobychand in a press meet said two CPI candidates, himself and Wahengbam Meghachandra from ward no 7 came out victorious in the recent Council election.
The news report stating that both the active CPI ward councillors have joined INC are fabricated and incorrect.
Seeking clarification from MLA Bira for the act, the ward councillors said they would file a defamation suit against the MLA if he fails to clarify for the misdeed at the earliest.
