Commenting on the prolonged imbroglio of Manipur University, Nara claimed mat it is rather unfortunate that rallies are bring allegedly organised by BJP leaders to tarnish the true value of the protest organised by MU community to save career of thousands of students.
CPI State Council Secretary L Sotinkumar Singh alleged that poor farmers are another section of the general community who have been affected since BJP came to power in the Centre.

Sotinkumar alleged that Chief Minister N Biren, who earlier assured that there are no points which will affect the interest of the State in the FA, has called for a Special State Assembly Session to take a concrete resolution, which shows that Framework Agreement indeed includes something which will harm or affect the interest of Manipur.
He assured that CPI will continue its movement to make the public understand about the party's intention as well as the party's stand for the welfare of the people.
