Imphal, December 27 2012:
Deputy Chief Minister Gaikhangam has strongly reacted to a report carried by Hindu on its December 24 edition in which it was stated that Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde is understood to have advised Chief Minister Okram Ibobi to restrain the media-friendly Deputy Chief Minister, as his contradictory statements have caused more confusion among the people.
Reacting to the report filed by Imphal correspondent of the newspaper, Gaikhangam clarified that there no such advice from the Union Home Minister and he is completely dumbfounded over such baseless report carried in a reputed National paper like Hindu.
According to the Hindu report, Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde also questioned the need for clamping night curfew in the State.
For, there is no night life in Manipur in view of insurgency-related lawlessness and volunteers enforcing the general strike are not seen after nightfall.
