Imphal, February 28 2019:
Secular Democratic Front, Manipur (SDFM), which was formed by 7 Left political parties of the State, will field candidates in both Inner and Outer Manipur Parliamentary Constituencies in the upcoming Lok Sabha Election.
This was stated by SDFM convenor Th Inoacha during a press meet held at the office of Manipur Pradesh Trinamool Congress (MPTC) at Hoakip Veng, Sanjenthong, yesterday.
Saying that the candidates with prospect will be fielded by SDFM in both Inner and Outer Manipur Parliamentary Constituencies, he said that the candidates will be given the power to decide on whose party he/she would contest the upcoming election as per the resolution taken by the alliance/Front.
Inaocha also maintained that the number of persons who want to contest the election on the SDF ticket is increasing day by day.
Conveying that the utterings of several BJP leaders on the CAB 2016 have created apprehension among the people of the North East region, particularly Manipur, he said it is quite unfortunate that not a single MLA out of the 60 has sought to table the same in the ongoing State Legislative Assembly session.
He urged the MLAs to take a stand against the Bill in the ongoing Assembly session for public's welfare.
He also asserted that MPTC will fully support and take part in the March 3 rally organised by Scheduled Tribe Demand Committee for inclusion of Meitei/Meetei in the ST (Scheduled Tribe) list.
