Proscribed Maoist Communist Party, Manipur, today called general strike on the first day of Sangai festival accusing the government of Manipur for fooling the people of the state in the name of organizing the Sangai Festival
In a statement issued today, the outfit said the Manipur government organizes such activities only for the sake of their benefits. It appealed people of Manipur to stay away from such unwanted and unreasonable activities.
The party further questioned whether the festival which is being organized to promote Sangai is really for saving Sangai or not. “If yes then, it is questionable that what actual relevant action to save the Sangai and to promote Manipur Tourism been taken up by the government so far”, said Maoist.
Leveling with the development activities taking up for such endangered animals and other species in other countries like China, the party said, “No any research Centre for such endangered animals is instituted in Manipur which is really meant for safety of the animal. The Government does not bother at all about the species’ health, their food or anything regarding betterment of present condition”.
Meanwhile, the party also accused the Government for hijacking the huge amounts of money which is sanctioned through Forest Department for development of Keibul Lamjao Sanctuary Park. The party warned that the party will not remain a mere spectator on such matters.

Sangai festival is for promotion of tourism in a landlocked state like ours, to promote culture, heritage, sports, etc like other states are organizing. Now, if someone asks sangai is not properly fed, manipuri’s ponies are not tall and malnourished, government did siphoned off funds to so-called self-proclaimed vigilante, drains are not cleaning properly, full of beer bottles, street lamps are not white enough, should be painted, etc. etc. If all these are real issues for calling such illegal and uncivilized diktat, people would hold their heart and said. Oh. God save us. And one more thing comparing china with Manipur, not even India which cant compete makes mockery of the intellect mind.
