Imphal, August 25 2017:
Volunteers of Manipur Muslim Welfare Organisation picketed the Directorate office of Minorities and Other Backward Classes (MOBC) & SC located within Secured Office Complex at North AOC today at around 4 pm .
President of Manipur Muslim Welfare Organisation Abdullah Pathan told reporters that the Chief Minister, who is also in-charge of MOBC, has been petitioned to probe the alleged swindling of crores of rupees by the department.
However, no positive action has been taken up so far .
As such, the office was locked today to protest the alleged indifferent attitude of the authority concerned to the petition, he said.
Abdullah further accused the department of suppressing and violating the rights of minorities and OBCs' students .
The CM was asked to conduct thorough investigation into different scandals concerning various schemes of the department on July 8 last.
However, it is very unfortunate that the State Govt has turned a deaf ear to the demand of the Manipur Muslim Welfare Organisation and other civil society organisations, Abdullah said .
He further said that the department has extracted crores of rupees in the name of Muslim and minorities students .
Asserting that scams galore in the department, Abdullah said that the department, which cannot deliver anything good to the people, is no more needed and it would be more better to disband the department.
