Imphal, July 25 2011:
Protesting against the suspension of Th Bishwajit from service, who is planning to contest in the upcoming 10th Manipur Legislative Assembly from Thongju Assembly Constituency, a large number of womenfolk today staged a demonstration along the Singjamei Wangma Kshetri Leikai-Kongba Road.
The protestors alleged that Bishwajit has been suspended from service on the basis of a 'false report' of the State Vigilance Commission.
One of the women leaders who participated in the protest demonstration observed that it seems to be a political conspiracy.
Because Bishwajit had submitted his resignation letter to take retirement from service so that he could contest in the election but a suspension order has been slapped on him.
Instead of the suspension order, the approval ought to be given to the resignation letter submitted around 10 months back, she asserted.
It is only after Bishwajit started involving in social service actively that a marked improvement in the condition of roads and bridges, and in the pace of development of Thongju Assembly Constituency could be seen, the woman leader added.
The women protestors also shouted slogans like 'We denounce the conduct of Manipur Government', 'Long Live Bishwajit', etc were also shouted during the protest demonstration.
