State Trinamool chief denies poll understanding with NPF

IMPHAL, Jan 27: Manipur Pradesh Trinamool Congress president Kim Gangte on Thursday made it clear that the party has not forged any pre-poll alliance with Naga People’s Front (NPF) and condemned Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) for the charges leveled against it in this regard.

“Congress has lost its strength and is therefore afraid of possible defeat in the coming Manipur polls, leading the party to blame on other political parties which are in fray,” Manipur Pradesh Trinamool Congress president Kim Gangte alleged while speaking to the media here. Kim was clarifying to reporters at a press meet over allegation made by the Congress party that Trinamool has formed a pre-poll alliance with NPF.

Hitting back on MPCC president Gaikhangam and the State chief minister, Kim flanked by her party’s observer Sourav, stated that the same statement made by the two leaders regarding formation of pre-poll alliance between Trinamool and NPF was totally unfounded and baseless.

“Trinamool condemns such allegation,” the State Trinamool president said.

She said reports are receiving everyday about kidnappings, melees and beatings of Trinamool supporters by NPF supporters in hill constituencies and wondered how the party can make alliance with such party.

Ahead of the coming polls, Trinamool had already announced the party would contest on its own and it was made public too, Kim insisted.

Trinamool election observer, Sourav said a formal complaint would be launched to both Chief Election Commissioner (CEO) and Election Commission of India (ECI) soon against the allegation made by MPCC against the party.

IMPHAL, Jan 27: The 63rd Republic celebration was observed yesterday with traditional fervor through out the state with Governor Gurcharan Jagat taking the salute at the main parade at Kangla.

All together 62 contingents took part in the march past which was without the usual competition section owing to curbs related to the ensuing assembly elections. India became a full republic on this day with the adoption of its own Constitution after centuries of British rule.

Faumei Gonglin, commandant of 5th IRB led this year’s parade as the commander while honorary Captain HC Hamsumang led the servicemen. The guard of honour was performed by contingents from the 7th IRB and 1st Manipur Rifles during which the tri-colour was hoisted.

During the observation, the Governor presented the Correction Service medals to Athokpam Ibotombi, chief head warden, Ningombam Hemanta, assistant jailor and Thangjam Nabakumar, warden, all of Central Jail, Sajiwa.

Gallantary Award for meritorious service was handed to fireman Surchandra Singh Khaidem and police medal for gallantary to S Ibotombi, sub-inspector and Ajay Prakash, rifleman.

President’s police medal for distinguished service was awarded to Koijam Radhashyam Singh, Churachandpur SP.

Tableaux were showcased by Manireda, IFCD, NRHM, Power, MAHUD, Town Planning, Rural Development, Education (schools), SSA, horticulture, IT, Election Commission of India and Manipur State Rural Road Development Agency.

Cultural troupes of Amuyaima Sangikant Dance Academy, Wangbal in Thoubal district, All Manipur Arts and State Committee, Lalit Sanget Natya Mandir, Nongpok Takhel, Sanchali Haobam Marak Art and Culture Dramatic Union, Meitei Sanaleipak Sana Kangla Yek Taret, Kuki Dance Troupe, Churachandpur, Makni Cultural Dance Troupe, Sardar Hills etc.

The band unit of All Manipur Band Party Association (B), 2nd MR Junior High School, 7th MR School (boys and girls), Massi Youth Centre and ICDS 1 and 2 provided the beat and tempo for the march.

Republic Day parade was also organized in all the district headquarters and Jiribam and Kangpokpi despite the extra duties on the district administration from duties for January 28 assembly elections. 22 contingents participated at the parade in Ukhrul, 20 in Chandel, 25 in Churachanpur and 20 in Tamenglong. The deputy commissioners took the salute at the district level observations while ADCs performed the same role at Jiribam and Kangpokpi.
