Imphal, February 21 2017:
MLA Karam Shyam of Langthabal A/C has expressed deep disappointment at the politicisation of every petty issue.
Speaking to media persons at his Chajing Mairenkhong residence, Shyam said, "It is really unfortunate that some candidates from Langthabal A/C are using force and power to intimidate the people" .
According to Shyam, a group of women were coming to his residence yesterday night when using force and power to intimidate the people" .
According to Shyam, a group of women were coming to his residence yesterday night when they were stopped at Chajing Yumnam by supporters of the BJP candidate of Langthabal A/C.The supporters who came in a gypsy adorned with BJP flags and barred the women from proceeding further and even threatened against going to the MLA's place.
The supporters even prevented the MLA's supporters from going on the road and as a result tension flared between the two parties.
Shyam claimed he rushed to the spot with his escorts on hearing about the situation and as the problem worsened, his escorts had to resort to blank firing.
If the escort had not resorted to such drastic decision, the situation might have gone out of hand, he added.
Accusing the BJP candidate of the Kendra of using unethical means and practices in the name of election, Shyam said, "He will have to bear the consequences if any unwanted incident happens" .
He also pointed out that he has already filed a complaint to the ECI and the police station regarding yesterday's incident.
