Imphal, September 02 2012:
As in other part of the country, BJP Mahila Morcha is all set to launch a signature campaign in the state in connection with the scandal over giving away coal blocks to 25 private companies, thereby leading to alleged misuse of huge amount of money, during the five-year tenureship of present Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh as the Minister of Coal.
The issue has rocked the Parliament, thus resulting in stalling the session repeatedly with Opposition demanding resignation of Dr Manmohan Singh.
Talking to Hueiyen Lanpao in connection with the proposed agitation, President of BJP Manipur Pradesh Shantikumar Sharma said that the signature campaign is to be launched nationwide and it would be carried out in Manipur from September 3 to 7, 2012 .
After the 2-G, the Coal scandal is a big scam causing a major issue in the Parliament.
