Imphal, November 19 2012:
Association of Persons with Disabilities, Ukhrul (APDU) has outrightly rejected the statement given yesterday that it supported the All Tribal Disables' Union Manipur (ATDUM) and endorses its activities.
APDU which is signed by LW Gainson himself said the news carried in a section of the press, given under his name was false.
Yesterday, a press statement shown under his name as the Vice-President is false and concocted, as the genuine President of APDU is Chungmi Ragui, said LW Gainson today.
Yesterday, a press statement appeared appealing the public not to co-operate with the activities led by Chungmi Ragui as the President of APDU.
Today's statement by LW Gainson said that he was not aware of the office bearers of APDU, but 'it has come to light that Chungmi Ragui under normal procedure is the elected President of APDU'.
Yesterday, press statement by All Tribal Disables' Union Manipur (ATDUM) had charged Chungmi Ragui as not the President of the organisation.
However, today's statement has totally contradicted with what was published in a section of the press.
