Imphal, September 08 2014:
A team of officials from Manipur unit of Naga People's Front (NPF) is currently in New Delhi in the hope to persuade the Prime Minister and the Home Minister to impose President's Rule in Manipur for alleged blatant violation of human rights in the state by Ibobi Singh led Congress Government.
The NPF team which also comprises party MLAs will call on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Rajnath Singh in the national capital to win over them to impose R in Manipur, state NPF general secretary Athuan Abonmai told Newmai News Network on Monday.
He said the team will also submit a memorandum to the two leaders and justify the party's demand for imposition of PR
in Manipur.
The failure of the Congress Government headed by Okram Ibobi Singh to treat all communities equally, killing of two persons during a peaceful rally organised against enforcement of Section 144 CrPC in Ukhrul on August 30 and breakdown in law and order are some of the important grounds for demanding imposition of PR by NPF in Manipur, he said.
Normal life has remained disturbed in Ukhrul since the enforcement of prohibitory orders, Abonmai said while accusing the state Government of failing to protect the life and property of the people.
