Imphal, May 30 2012:
Pleading for appointment of a dignitary from among Mongoloid origin to the exalted office of President of India, four senior citizens have proposed name of SC Jamir as the most deserving personality to be honoured.
In a representation submitted to the President of Indian National Congress Sonia Gandhi, former Minister RV Mingthing, former Minister RK Thekho, former President of MPCC & Finance Minister L Lolit and Retd AR Comdt RS Jassal observed that hectic consultations are on by politicians of all hues to arrive at a consensus on who should occupy the ceremonial chair and number one accommodation for 21,900 days at the Raisina Hills.
However, there has never been any opportunity afforded to any dignitary from Mongoloid origin to such an exalted prestigious office.
"Shri SC Jamir is a very deserving personality to be honoured.
This is our plea.
It will also bring NE to the centre-stage from the periphery", the representation added.
