Imphal, April 18 2016:
A Minister of the Ibobi-Government and a key leader of a political party came under an abortive attack at MBC Centre Church yesterday morning.
As the two key political figures were preparing to join prayer session, two unidentified persons barged into the Centre Church.
The two unidentified looked suspicious and as their movements showed tendency to attack the two political leaders, people present in the Church immediately alerted security forces.
The moment security forces arrived at MBC complex, the two individuals left the place hastily, said a source.
It is suspected that the two unidentified persons are cadres of a UG group which is presently under SoO pact.
Many quarters have also raised strong suspicion whether some influential people living at Imphal are giving shelter to UG cadres belonging to SoO groups.
Meanwhile, frisking of all visitors using metal detectors have been introduced at the Congress Bhavan.
