Imphal, January 15 2016 :
Aimol peo-
ple should live as Aimols and
they should not merge into any
other community, asserted IFC
Minister Ngamthang Haokip.
He was speaking as chief
guest at the diamond jubilee
celebration of the Kha Aimol
Baptist Church at Loktak
Project today.
The function started with
the unveiling of a diamond
jubilee stone by Rev
Semiserto.
This was followed by
presentation of cultural dance
and music.
Speaking on the occasion,
Ngamthang Haokip exhorted
Aimol people to preserve
their distinct identity.
He stated that bigger com-
munities should desist from
amalgamating smaller com-
munities within their fold.
All the communities living
in Manipuri should promote
communal harmony and make
the State peaceful and pro-
gressive.
Although Aimol is a small
community in terms of popu-
lation but a strong sense of
unity binds them together.
That is why they are able to
organise such a huge func-
tion, Ngamthang Haokip
remarked.
He also assured that he
would consult the local MLA
and provide all possible as-
sistance for development of
Kha Aimol village.
