Imphal, April 21 2017:
Kendra Development Committee, Wangjing Tentha A/C president Ch Iboyaima Singh has said that the people of the constituency will not take part in the Khongjom Day celebration.
Speaking to media persons at Manipur Press Club today, he said that although the people welcome the BJP led State Government and the Chief Minister, it is unfortunate that the present MLA of the Kendra, Paonam Brojen Singh was not informed about anything as every year the welcome address of the Khongjom Day observation is usually given by the Kendra's MLA of that time.
Khongjom Day observation is not a State Government function nor some political party function, he added.
He said that there have been many ruling and Opposition MLAs in the past and all of them participated in the function and were given some kind of responsibility and asked if the present Government had not researched the tradition and norms.
Iboyaima said that the people of the Kendra, which usually host the function, have decided not to participate this time.
