Imphal, February 16 2022:
Mayang Imphal Block Congress Committee has clarified that the committee has no connection whatsoever with the rally on Hijab issue organised by different organisations in Mayang Imphal area on Tuesday.
Mayang Imphal Block Congress Committee's Thongam Subash informed media persons on Wednesday that the public rally on Hijab issue taken out in Mayang Imphal area was jointly organised by All Manipur Muslim Girl Students' Union, Geographic Innovation Society and Young Mind Collective.
The rally against ban on use of Hijab coincided with a rally organised by some political parties and a confrontation broke out between the two sides after those taking part in political rally raised slogans against participants of the Hijab rally, he said, adding that it was ridiculous to blame Congress party through social media for the rally as the party is secular and treats every religion equally.
