Urging the people to pay their due respect to Chittaranjan who committed the extreme sacrifice to get the AFSPA revoked from Manipur, the Lup in a statement asked all to start paying their tributes from 10 am till 4.30 pm and then to lit up torches in each and every locality in the night.
Going on the offensive agains the 'self serving' political leaders of the State, the Lup said that instead of keeping their words to resign from their posts, the MLAs and Ministers are still sticking to their chairs and instead of listening to the demands of the people are letting loose a reign of terror.
