Imphal, March 06 2017:
People's Resurgence and Justice Alliance (PRJA) has expressed concern over the use of term "hills and plain" instead of "hills and valley" by the Congress party in an advertisement.
"According to the official report of the Ministry of Forest & Environment, Manipur is a hill State.
There are far reaching consequences of using the word 'plain' instead of 'valley' while terming the hill-valley relationship in the geopolitical aspect of Manipur.
While the valley is inseparable from the hills in the geological construct of Manipur, the usage of 'plain' sounded more like a sinister design to disconnect both hills and valley in the ecological, economic and cultural perspective of Manipur," PRJA general secretary M James Mc said in a statement.
"There is already a dent in the hill-valley relationship created by a larger political aspirant who seeks its goals through disintegration of Manipur, we must stand politically correct and also acknowledge corrections from different quarters every now and then while working for an integrated Manipur in spirit and body," the statement added.
