Imphal, July 23 2010:
Apart from levelling corruption charges against the Health Minister Ph Parijat, the proscribed KCP, Mobile Task Force (MTF) has claimed responsibility for shooting one Huidrom Deven of huidrom Mayai Leikai on both legs for his close association with the Minister.
A KCP statement issued by the deputy commander of MTF Kesho Meetei alleged that minister parijat has transformed the Health Department to one of the most corrupted departments with himself and a handful of individuals close to his son pillaging public funds by grabbing contract works and appointments in the health department.
Reacting to the Minister's recent outbursts against the armed outfit, Kesho asserted that owing to fund embezzlement by the Minister and individuals under Parijat's patronage the Government of Manipur.
KCP/MTF contended that large amount of funds meant for development and maintenance of various PHC, PHSC and CHC have been siphoned off by contractors in collusion with the Minister, who was also accused of asking for financial favours from candidates seeking appointment in the Health Dept, particularly in recruitment process for enrolment in JNIMS.
Contending that information has been received that some dedicated workers of the Minister, also involved in fund embezzlement are staying at official quarter of the Minister, Kesho Meetei asserted that KCP MTF's reach and determination to strike at will should not be taken lightly.
The deputy commander further asked NGO/student activists and meira paibis to protest nefarious activities of the Minister and his corrupt supporters rather than cry foul whenever corrupt elements, such as Huidrom Deven, are punished.
