Imphal: A massive protest was organised in Manipur’s capital Imphal against Mizoram Chief Minister Zoramthanga for his participation in a solidarity march held in Mizoram.
The incident occurred around 2:30 pm when the protestors under the aegis of “My Manipur” tried to burn down effigy over his comment on chief minister N Biren Singh and portraying latter in a bad light.
The protesters say the condemn the Mizoram Chief Minister Zoramthanga’s intervention in matters related to Manipur.
Talking to media persons, the spokesperson of My Manipur, Mangangleima Salainganbi said that statement made by Zoramthanga in connection with the present crisis and against chief minister N Biren Singh is highly condemnable. Manipur has its own government to take care of the administration and shun the violence.
“Mizoram CM expressing so much of derogatory comments against our chief minister N Biren Singh whom we consider as people’s CM is very unfortunate. Zoramthanga should stop using insulting comments on the Manipur crisis that has erupted since May 3. We have our own government and should not stop meddling with the internal matters of Manipur. He should not cross his line,” she said.
She continued and said that chief minister N Biren Singh is a popular Chief Minister and works all day long for the welfare and safety of the people.
The protestors shouted various slogans. Some of them are Mizoram CM Down Down, Stop Narco-Terrorism in Manipur, Save Territorial Integrity of Manipur, Save Manipur from Armed Militants among others.
