Imphal, September 25 2010:
Observing that some self-centred elements have been persistently scheming to upset the integrity and territorial boundary of Manipur, which has more than 2000 years of recorded history marked by cordial relationship among different communities, MPCC president and Nungba A/C representative Gaikhangam has called upon all the people of Manipur to identify all those self-centred people and remain alert against their designs.
Gaikhangam was speaking at a reception function held in his honour at Ningthoukhong community hall under the aegis of Bishnupur Block Congress Committee today.
Gaikhangam remarked that Manipur has a distinctive history earning different sobriquets.
Even as some elements have been persistently attempting to upset the unity and territorial integrity of such a beautiful State, the divisive forces would never succeed, Gaikhangam said.
Stating that each and every citizen of Manipur need to sacrifice all personal interests for a collective cause so as to ensure peace, development and good governance in the State, the newly re-elected MPCC president pointed out that the fundamental quality of a good leader is to have the spirit of sacrificing for the public at one's own cost.
Congress which believes in democracy is one of the oldest political parties in the world.
People might have thought that there were internal differences within Congress party during the recent election of MPCC president.
But there was no internal difference or impasse over the matter, Gaikhangam clarified.
The reception function was attended by Bishnupur A/C MLA Govindas Konthoujam, functionaries of Bishnupur Block Congress Committee, Bishnupur Zilla Parishad Members, Councillors of Bishnupur and Ningthoukhong Municipal Councils and MPCC functionaries.
