UNC and ATSUM are doing unnecessary bandh to affect Ningol Chakouba festival. Ibobi also unfit CM of Manipur. A govt must be installed next that can break the bone of UNC and ATSUM to let them know rule of law exist in Manipur.
A Congress govt support UNC and other divisive force without taking any action against their criminal activities. Down with Congress, let us have govt that can tame UNC and other wild animal organizations.
