Imphal, December 24 2019:
Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) has come out strongly against the harassment of CPI Manipur State secretary L Sotinkumar by the State Government on charges of sedition.
A statement issued by the vice president of MPCC today alleged that such blatant misuse of provisions of law to muzzle the expression of opinion and launching of peaceful agitation on December 19, is against the letter and spirit of the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution.
On the other hand, MPCC further condemned the arrest of RK Ichanthoibi for expressing her opinion on Inner Line Permit on Facebook and reasoned that invoking various sections of the IPC against the young girl, appears to be inappropriate and excessive.
