Imphal, Mar 29: Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee President Gaikhangam who is also Home Minister hailed Manipur Police department as one of the best police organizations in the country. But there are certain rooms, which need to be looked into to make it the best organization in the country, he added.
Speaking today on the side line of a function held at the Congress Bhavan to felicitate him on becoming the Home Minister, Gaikhangam said all out efforts will be made to make Manipur Police a people friendly organization. Give me some time, there is nothing that cannot be achieved.
Earlier speaking at the felicitation function the Congress President said “I have been in the Congress Party for the last 40 years. Since 1980 I had fought elections eight times and I had won six times.”
He said he never thought of becoming a Govt servant while making academic pursuits. “ I am not choosy nor am I aggressive. I take whatever that comes his way. Having worked for a political party that is the biggest in the world I consider my part career as fruitful”.
He appealed to the workers to make selfless sacrifice for the betterment of the party in particular and the state as a whole. Do not shirk duty. I did whatever that was assigned to me by the party high command. I will happily relinguish the job I am holding when the high command appoints a new incumbent.
He said in the part he opted for party part in keeping with one man one part. As Congress President he did not visit Govt. offices as that was not befitting to his stature. He was of the view that Ministers should visit the office of the party once in a week to hear the voice of the people. If possible the Chief Minister on regular basis should visit party office once in a month to lend ear to the voice of the workers.
He said the party is important. He also said the outcome of the 10th assembly elections reveals that there is no opposition to the Congress Party in Manipur. People of Manipur reposed faith in the Congress Party by sending 42 Congress MLAs to the 60- member house.
Congress Vice President T. Mangibabu MLA said he is that Gaikhangam has been given home portfolio.
AK. Mirabai MLA said the prolonged association with the people and working together with them results in the smooth sailing of the party to power. She said policies should be framed to ameliorate living conditions of the weaker sections of the society.
Meghachandra MLA recalled the sacrifices made by Gaikhangam to make the party strong and united.
P. Sashikanla Secretary MPCC(I) said, Gaikhangam ensured smooth sailing of the party to power facing all odds thrown against the party. He appealed to the Congress Govt. to provide help and security to the party workers. The function ended with a vote of thanks proposed by Dr. Chaltonlien Amo.
