Imphal, March 3:

The Zeliangrong Civil Organisations (ZCOs) comprising of ZeliangrongBaudi, Zeliangrong Youth Front and Zeliangrong Students Union have strongly urged to all concerned to leave the people alone in the matter of Election so that the people is allowed to exercise their democratic right in free and fair manner.
“Let the people use their wisdom and decide their own choice to vote and choose the right candidate to represent them. We have been witnessing development deficit, economical backwardness and tardy social progress in Zeliangrong areas due to disturbances, interferences, obstruction and intimidation to voters from different factors during election time in the guise of different issues and agenda”, a statement said.
The Zeliangrong Civil Organisations also expressed dissatisfaction towards some people who imposed road blockade in two different locations near Tamphung village and Magamai village areas situated along the Maram-Peren road under Tadubi Assembly Constituency, Senapati District, Manipur. Zeliangrong voters comprised of students and others who are doing different professions and coming to exercise their democratic right from Nagaland side were forcibly turned back towards Peren side at Tamphung village and those voters coming from Senapati and Imphal side were forcibly turned back towards Maram Centre side at Magamai village, the statement said.
“Such unlawful and criminal act indulged and committed by those group of people is totally unacceptable and uncalled for and strongly condemned and also demand the concern authority to enquire into the incident and identify the people who are behind the incident and book them immediately as per law of the land. The weakness and the ineffectiveness of the Govt should not unnecessarily render the democratic citizen of the country to suffer in such a manner. Failure on the part of the Govt to act as per law of the land will only set as a precedence in the coming future”, the statement added.
The statement further said that it is not wise to obstruct the rights of the others while trying to achieve their objective. The best approach and the most effective method of winning the Election is to convince the hearts and minds of the voters by way of rightful and acceptable means. Obstruction, Interference, disturbances, coercion or intimidation caused to others people’s from exercising their free and fair democratic right by another group in order to win the Election will only bring negative impact to social progress in addition to social disharmony and escalation of animosity among the people. Therefore the ZCOs urged to all concerned to refrain from resorting to such acts. Let there prevails peace and social harmony by respecting the rights of the others people.
It is the bounden duty of each and every citizen of the country to support and co-operate each others by ensuring the participation of every voters to exercise their democratic right by choosing their own choice of candidate. The selection of candidate in the Election time without giving the opportunity to the people to think is the root cause of social backwardness and poor economical condition of the people. Selection of candidates by certain group or organisation by means of intimidation or coercion to voters during the election time is a suppressive policy and anti-people approach which should be stopped forthwith in the larger interest of the people. The ZCOs urged to all voters to exercise their democratic right in free and fair manner and to ensure and to achieve it is the responsibility of the Govt to uphold the Democratic right of the people.
