Irresponsible Congress rule has thrown Manipur into anarchy: JD (U) President

Imphal, March 01: President of Janata Dal (United), Manipur Unit, M Tombi has lambasted the incumbent state government and claimed that decade-long Congress rule has flung the state into complete lawlessness.
The irresponsible nature of the government is shown with the recent incident of suspending 5 (five) innocent personnel of Manipur Police which was made under pressure from a student body (Naga Students’ Federation) belong to neighbouring state Nagaland, even after State Home Minister have given acquittance to the security personnel, who dutifully frisked members of the students’ body during their journey to Ukhrul to attend the February 14 Lui-Ngai-Ni (seed sowing festival), said M Tombi, while speaking to Imphal Times.
Unluckily, the government has played the emotions of five personnel by slapping them with suspension order for discharging their duty to ensure safety of high profile guests including Chief Minister of two states- Nagaland and Mizoram, who came to attend the festival at Ukhrul.
The government has no commitment and succumbs to pressures from anti-social elements. Underground people ruled in hill districts of the state, where elected leaders and representatives of armed groups imposed their own rules.
The administration of the incumbent government is only limited to valley districts. It failed to protect national highways from the clutches of armed groups; helpless to punish the power thefts in hill districts; remain a mute spectator while land of the state are encroached along the Indo-Myanmar international border, he said, while adding that there is no hope from this government.
