Imphal, December 07 2011:
Terming the remarks of MPCC President Gaikhangam on 'nude protest' as unfortunate, Manipur People's Party, Youth Front (MPPYF) and said that it would have been more fortunate if Gaikhangam had understood the suffering of the people from the impact of prolonged economic blockade along the National Highways.
In a statement, General Secretary in-charge of Media of MPPYF L Sonamani Meitei said that instead of coming out with such irresponsible remarks, Gaikhangam should be more alert about any possible attempt of his party's government at the Centre to break apart the territorial integrity of Manipur either through Supra-state body proposal or any other ploys in future.
It is because of strong opposition from MPP and other like-minded organizations that Delhi has retracted from its stand on Supra-state body proposal to NSCN (IM), and this is a great achievement of the people of Manipur, Sonamani said, adding that the nude protest of MPPYF was the reply to the attitude of Delhi which looks upon Manipur as a 'naked state' .
