Republican Party of India Athawale (RPI Atha-wale), Keishamthong unit has condemned the alleged action of Assam police and Assam government who prevented party's national secretary Maheshwar Thounaojam from taking part in democratic agitation organised by Meetei residents in Guwahati.

However, Assam police prevented him from joining the agitation and barred him from meeting the media, Haridas said and strongly con demned high-handedness of the Assam police and government.
