Imphal, April 27 2011:
Chief Minister O Ibobi Singh has appealed against creating any sort of disturbance in the process of electing their respective representatives by the people in the upcoming General election to the State Assembly.
Addressing a district level training programme on flagship programmes and other schemes organised by Chandel District Congress Committee at Khangshim village community hall today, Ibobi said that instead of creating disturbance, even the UGs should come out to help the people in electing their representatives.
People of Manipur would get their demand for peace and due rights without interference from any organisations.
So, instead of creating disturbance, people should be allowed to live in peace and causing disturbance should also be stopped in the upcoming 10th General election to Manipur State Legislative Assembly, the Chief Minister remarked.
The Chief Minister went on to say that UG groups can come out to do service for the people.
There is nothing wrong in allowing the people to choose their own representatives and let the elected representatives taking up developmental works for the people.
Any Minister or MLA who have not perform their duties should not be given vote in the next election and only those who would be able to carry out their responsibility right from the grassroots level and ensure peace in the society should be elected.
