IMPHAL | Oct 1

The Manipur Muslim Welfare Organisation (MMWO) informed that it will boycott deputy chief minister, Y. Joykumar until the latter tender apology and arrest his son, Y. Devjit for allegedly disrespecting Islamic religion.    

Speaking to media persons today, MMWO president, Pangal Abdul Pathan said that deputy chief minister’s son, Devjit posting on Facebook post stating that ‘Quarbani is a practice to kill man on the day of Id-ul-Adha’ on September 2 is an insult to Islamic religion.  

Regarding the matter complaint had made to the police and several forms of agitation had took place but still today not a single action has been taken up against Devjit as he is the son of the deputy chief minister, Pathan added.

A leader who cannot even control his son is not fit to be a leader of a state so they have boycotted the deputy chief minister, continued the president.

Moreover the chief minister keeping quiet regarding the matter shows that the government see the minority as second class citizens, added Pathan.

He said on the other hand more than 80 percent of the minority are not getting their rightful MOBC welfare schemes and projects but the government has not taken up any action to make the scheme available to them.

Till today the new BJP led government has not taken up any developmental steps for the welfare of the minority people, he claimed.

If the government continues such action the minority people will stop supporting BJP like in the other states, he warned.

The organisation appealed to all the minority people of the state not to invite the deputy chief minister in any function and not to support NPP in election.
