IMPHAL, June 27: The Congress has been in power for more than 13 years but there is no initiative on its part to set a proper State Youth policy, ousted Thangmeiband MLA Khumukcham Joykishan Singh said today.<\/p>\n
He was addressing the valedictory function of the State level four-day residential camp on development of Youth, 2015 organised by the Youths Foundation For Fitness And Servce Manipur at the Khuman Lampak Kangshang.<\/p>\n
He said organising such camps is highly appreciable and the government needs to learn a lesson from the organisers.<\/p>\n
Joykishan also said the campers taking part in the camp should also think of ways to help the society.<\/p>\n
He said today several disruptive activities like general strikes, bandh and blockades have become a culture of the State.<\/p>\n
The government should be sensitive enough to understand that the bandhs and blockades highly affect the youth, he continued.<\/p>\n
Joykishan who has joined the BJP said the present day government in the State never listens to any appeal or demand until a general strike or blockade is imposed.<\/p>\n
He continued the present State government is trying to push the youth in the wrong way.<\/p>\n
The valedictory function was also attended by YOFFS president H Megachandra Singh as president, ex MLA Thongju Th Bishwajit Singh and president BJYM, Manipur Pradesh O Malesh Singh as guests of honor.<\/p>\n
