Thoubal, January 19 2024:
All Manipur Meitei Pangal Clubs' Organisation (AMMPCO) working president Rahaman Yumkhaibam has claimed that government in Manipur is functioning without proper head as it seems no one knows who is controlling the Unified Command, SoO and Assam Rifles.
Addressing a press meet held at Lilong Bazar on Friday, Rahaman stated that there is big question mark on whom the Union and state government has given the responsibility for heading the Unified Command, controlling the AR in state and overseeing the SoO.
Posing on how long with the public tolerate such mis-governance, he said that AMMPCO strongly condemns killings of daily wage earners in peripheral areas, which would not have happened if there was a functioning government in the state.
Rahaman continued that the Organisation aims to ensure that the Unified Command and AR come under state government and proper monitoring of SoO ground rules by central and state governments along with its revocation from state.
Asking whether the state is under President's Rule as helm of Unified Command has been taken from the state government, he also observed that it is not a good sign if citizens have to resort to civil uprising to save themselves.
Rahaman also emphasised that central and state governments draft a policy to protect the public before the prevailing crisis escalates.
He reiterated that government must withdraw SoO from Manipur and remove AR as they have lost the trust of the people.
