IMPHAL, August 19: BJP Manipur president Th Chaoba has blamed the State Home department for yesterday`\u2122s tension in the border town of Moreh.<\/p>\n
The government, he told media persons at his party office, should be held responsible for the communal tension in Moreh.<\/p>\n
The BJP strongly condemn the unfortunate incident which happened due to misunderstanding between the two groups, he said.<\/p>\n
He further appealed to the people of the border town to remain calm and allow peaceful co-existence among the different communities in the area.<\/p>\n
He said several houses including hotels and shops were ransacked, looted and set ablaze while several others were left injured during the clash.<\/p>\n
The government, he continued, should compensate for all the losses incurred in the violence.<\/p>\n
The BJP also welcomes the civil societies trying to negotiate among the communities of Moreh and help in bringing back peace in the area.<\/p>\n
All these has happened because of the negligence of the Home department as the ILPS rally was not organised immediately, but it was already announced beforehand.<\/p>\n
The Home department had full knowledge of the rally, he continued.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, the Home department failed to take up any precaution which resulted in the flare-up, he continued.<\/p>\n
He said now many victims are staying in relief camps and the Centre has stationed Assam Rifles and other para-military forces as the area lies near the international border.<\/p>\n
Now, the State has to remain vigilant in the border areas, he said and added, such flare ups can also happen in Jiribam.<\/p>\n
Chaoba also appealed to the people of Jiribam not to allow any such clash to happen in their area.<\/p>\n
The Home department`\u2122s power seems to be confined only in the State capital, Chaoba lamented.<\/p>\n
BJP Manipur Vision Document chairperson RK Ranjan said it is time for the indigenous people to unite together.<\/p>\n\n
