Imphal, October 05 2016:
Manipur Democratic People's Front (MDPF) has opined that political parties participating in electoral politics, either directly or indirectly, can be considered as patriots who are willing to save the Nation, State and its people.
MDPF president and co-chairman of SDAM Dr G Tonsana Sharma in a statement said election is to political parties what World Olympics is to sportsperson.
Both happens after a certain period of time and in both platforms, participants are provided a chance to showcase their strength.
All the electorates should therefore, cheer all the contestants instead of discouraging them by throwing hurtful remarks, Dr Tonsana said.
Winning an election, unlike Olympics where individual competitor's physical performance scores the winning point, depends on the elector's choice.
The matter of concern therefore is how well the electorates choose their leader.
The matter raises the question as to who is going to betray the Nation, the politician or the electorate? .
MDPF is of the belief that honesty, sincerity and sacrifice on the part of both the electorates and the politicians can bring free, fair and fearless election, Dr Tonsana said.
He has further urged the electorates who are neither politicians nor politically involved workers to be aware of traitors and choose their leader wisely.
