Imphal, July 29 2022:
Sugnu AC MLA K Ranjit has stated that BJYM attacking the office of Congress at BT Road yesterday would be akin to BJP sending an invitation for confrontation to the grand old party.
Condemning the attack carried out by a group of BJYM volunteers led by its president M Barish Sharma during zero hour in today's sitting of the State Assembly, Ranjit said that people in power making fun of the democratic ethos and set up of the country is disheartening and drew the attention of the House to take the matter with utmost seriousness.
Saying that a group of people attacking the Congress Bhavan and using foul language and intimidating the security personnel posted there was down right condemnable, K Ranjit said that most of the Members of the House must have seen the footage of the attack on social media.
Continuing that may take a turn for the worse between the Congress and BJP if the latter constantly misuses power to oppress them, Ranjit reminded that BJYM had attacked the Congress Bhavan in connection with the Farm Laws protest too.
He also said that Congress doesn't object to people holding democratic protests like rally, dhama and even burning effigies in the interest of the State or the country at large, "but what the BJYM did was unacceptable and it is akin to serving an invitation for a war to the grand old party".
He then urged Chief Minister N Biren to take action against the BJYM members who attacked Congress Bhavan and prove that no one is above the law of the land.
