According to NPP Manipur, the Minister was on a visit to Wangoi Makha Leikai around 10:30 am yesterday to inspect road and drain construction works in his constituency when a group attacked him with sticks and stones.

The party said the attack was politically motivated with a narrow political outlook, carried out at a time when the Minister was working for development of his constituency.

It said no serious injury occurred as his Private Security Officer intervened in time.

NPP said the Minister has been working hard to restore peace and development at a time when law and order situation is challenging, and is also working to address problems faced by people of Wangoi including road conditions.

It appealed to the people of Wangoi not to repeat such acts driven by narrow political differences.

Meanwhile, National People's Youth Front (NPYF), Manipur State Unit also condemned the attack, stating that such acts of violence are unacceptable in a democratic society and political differences must be resolved through peaceful dialogue, not intimidation or physical aggression.
