The Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) president, T. N. Haokip today accused the BJP of playing “dirty political conspiracy” against him and the Congress party by intentionally putting up his poster with BJP symbol along with posters of BJP leaders and uploading wrong information of him on the internet that he would be joining the BJP.

Haokip told a press conference that he will seek legal help besides filing a complaint with the police cyber crime unit in connection with the incident.

Briefing media persons in this regards at Congress Bhavan, Haokip said the incident was an attempt to tarnish his political image and also defame the Congress before terming it as unfortunate.

“The BJP is not only targeting me but the entire Congress party in the country particularly the MPCC”,” he charged.

He maintained that the entire episode leading to the controversy surrounding him in the internet was intentionally device by the BJP.

The very idea behind igniting the controversy was to create confusion amongst the public, which the BJP is good at, alleged Haokip.

Nevertheless, the senior Congress legislator showing his firm commitment with his party, said that his integrity was not up for sale.

According to him he had overcome many temptations since he was first elected with Congress ticket in 2002.

Haokip claimed that he had not only refused huge amount of money but also leadership offered to him in the past by the BJP adding that former chief minister of Manipur R. K. Dorendro is the living proof.

“There are always ups and downs in politics and I have had enough experience. After what I have gone through I have committed myself that I will be with Congress as long as I am in politics”, said the MPCC president.

Responding to clarification made by Sharma Enterprise owning the responsibility of the error committed, Haokip said, “The damage has already been done”.

Stating that the Congress party is very much alive, he warned that the Cogress will toughen its stand against the BJP after the ongoing Assembly session is over.

“The longer the BJP stays in power the more the damage to Manipuri society”, said Haokip.
