Imphal, December 21 2023:
In solidarity with the nationwide protest organised by INDIA Bloc on Friday against the suspension of 143 opposition Members of Parliament (MPs) for the entire duration of the on-going session, the ten opposition parties of Manipur will also stage a protest in the capital city on Friday.
Convenor of the ten opposition political parties, Kshetrimayum Shanta, informed in a press release that a protest meeting to express solidarity with the nationwide demonstration will take place at Congress Bhawan around 12.30 pm on Friday.
Shanta emphasised that the suspension of an MP should not be overlooked, as it tantamount to suppression of the voices of millions by the ruling government.
During the protest meeting, prominent opposition figures such as Okram Ibobi, Gaikhangam, Dr Moirangthem Nara Singh, Dr Nimaichand Luwang, and others will share their perspectives on this issue.
