Imphal, October 06 2014:
Correspondent of the Kolkata based The Statesman, Yambem Laba has stated that he is ready to face the legal battle in the wake of the defamation suit filed against him by the president of the State unit of the BJP, Th Chaoba.
The defamation suit was filed in connection with an article written by Y Laba with regard to the removal of Dr S Shekharjit as the Director of RIMS.
On the other hand, a socio-political group called Clean Politics Mission with Chongtham Bijoy Singh as the convenor and Yambem Laba as the co-convenor has been formed.
Stating that the aim of the action group is to eradicate corrupt and unfair practices from the political life of the general public and minimise the role of money and muscle power in determining the outcome of any election, Laba said that three areas will be targeted in phases.
The three areas are Urban Assembly Constituencies of Manipur, Rural Assembly Constituencies of Manipur and the twenty Assembly Constituencies in the hill areas of Manipur.
