Imphal, March 13 2016: MLA Laishom Ibomcha has asserted that he would not withdraw the FIR lodged against Nagaland Chief Minister TR Zeliang.

Speaking at a felicitation function of distinguished per- sonalities held at his Keishamthong Laishom Leirak residence this evening, Ibomcha said that he has come across many threats and offensive statements made by different elements on several social networking sites.

He maintained that TR Zeliang's statement was so offensive and provocative that he was constrained to lodge the FIR.

If the matter reaches the Election Commission of In- dia, he may face problems to contest even elections, said Ibomcha.

If he commits the blunder of visiting Manipur again, he would be arrested, Ibomcha said.

However, if one examines the clarifications made by TR Zeliang recently, it appears has retracted certain steps.

After he lodged complaints with police against what TR Zeliang stated during Lui- Ngai-Ni celebration at Ukhrul, some organisations declared hat MLA Ibomcha would not be allowed to visit Naga areas.

Nonetheless, Ibomcha maintained that he would still visit Naga areas and welcome all those organisations when they visit Imphal.

Earlier, the MLA presented gifts to Manipur University of Culture Vice Chancellor Prof N Khagendra, Registrar L Joychandra, Padmasree Dr Bimola, social activist L Saratchandra, Kangla Pao Chief Editor P Ibochou and Na- tional awardee Yumlembam Ibomcha.
