Imphal, August 09 2018:
Expressing gratefulness for the passage of a Bill at the Rajya Sabha today pertaining to establishment of a National Sports University (NSU) at Haraothel, BJP Manipur Pradesh has hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah for their roles in getting the Bill passed.
Speaking to media persons at their Nityaipat Chuthek office today, the party's general secretary (administration) K Saratkumar and general secretary (organisation) N Nimbus said that the Bill for establishment of NSU in Manipur was already passed by the Lok Sabha.
However, as Rajya Sabha MP and BJP State unit president K Bhabananda started speaking in favour of the Rajya Sabha, Congress MPs raised a din with an intention to keep the Bill at bay, they said.Nonetheless, at the insistence of NDA, particularly BJP, the Rajya Sabha passed the Bill.
With the establishment of the NSU, Manipur which is already known as a sports powerhouse, would be able to occupy a bigger place in India in the field of games and sports, they added.
