IMPHAL, Sept 15 MNS NNN : All non-Congress political parties in Manipur have decided to organised a rally on September 23 against the faulty border fencing work in the Indo-Myanmar border.Convenor of the ‘All non-Congress political parties M Tombi said they had taken this decision yesterday in their meeting.
According to M Tombi, after the rally they will submit a memorandum to the Governor detailing the exact boundary line of the Indo-Myanmar border from Churachandpur district to Ukhrul district. “We will support our claim by submitting the relevant documents along with the memorandum,” said M Tombi while addressing the media today.
Tombi then said the non-Congress political parties have decided to organise the rally as the issue of border fencing in the Indo-Myanmar border is getting more and more serious on every passing day.
Regarding the Friday evening blast where nine labourers were killed, M Tombi sarcastically said that the law is with the government where as the order is with the militants. “How can you run the government like this?” asked M Tombi. He then said in their meeting yesterday, the non-Congress political parties strongly condemned the Friday blast incident and condoled the bereaved families. “The Congress led government has failed to protect the people,” said M Tombi.
Meanwhile, lauding the decision on the Delhi gang-rape case, M Tombi said,” That decision to award death penalties to the rapists is cent per cent correct.” He then suggested that such death penalties should also be given to rapists in Manipur too.
Coming to a recent case where a school teacher from Manipur had failed to claim the prestigious National Teacher Award 2013 due to the laxity of the state Government, Tombi demanded that the state education department, its minister and officials should be pulled up.
Koijam Tolendro, who is 51-year-old, is a senior graduate teacher at Prajja High School, Lamshang in Imphal West district and a resident of Lamshang bazaar. He was one of the two selected teachers from Manipur who was to honour by the President by conferring the award on Teacher’s Day, September 5 in New Delhi.
Meanwhile, regarding the proposed September 23 rally, M Tombi informed that the people will assemble at 8 am at THAU Ground, Imphal and then proceed to Kangla Pat road and to Raj Bhavan where a memorandum will be submitted to the Governor.
