Imphal, September 01 2012:
Irabot Celebration Committee, Manipur has kick started the month-long 116th Birth Anniversary celebration of Hijam Irabot with a function at Rupmahal Theatre today.
Irabot's contemporary Moirangthem Ibohal Singh led the gathering in offering floral tribute to the late leader.
CPI Manipur State Council secretary Dr M Nara while speaking at the function remembered Irabot as a leader who fought for the rights of the whole people of Manipur.
Maintaining that Irabot always fought against suppression and oppression of people, Nara said that peace would flourish in Manipur if the present leaders follow the footprints of Irabot.
Speaking on ensuing Panchayat elections, the CPI leader expressed concern that candidates do not have any qualm in spending too much money to register a win, which according to him is a new trend in Panchayat elections.
Former Ministers Ph Parijat and N Mangi, CPI leaders M Ibohal and L Iboyaima and Nupi Marup leader Y Ibeni Devi were also present at the occasion.
