Imphal, March 28 2011:
The state unit president of BJP, Sh Shantikumar today lambasted the SPF government today, questioning the rational behind the decision of the state government entrusting the Rojer murder case to CBI.
"Ajay Meitei who shot I Roger to his death in cold blood has admitted to having committed the crime, what then is the need for the institution of an investigation by CBI and other such independent body," he asked, suggesting that "the court should simply give its verdict based on the available evidence and the admission by the accused himself" .
"Minister N Biren should therefore resign from his official responsibility while his son should be handed out a capital punishment or a lifetime imprisonment verdict," he prodded on.
Shantikumar also demanded for clarification from the chief minister on the case involving the shooting of the AG, Koteshore, by a cabinet minister in his government which has largely been consigned to history.
He went on to seek revelation on the identity of a minister's wife who was caught sometimes back at Tulihal Airport with a battery of munitions in her luggage.
