Imphal, Aug 6 : After noting the reports submitted to him on Chungkham Sanjit’s killing by Manipur police commandos in an alleged fake encounter, Opposition leader LK Advani has assured to press the Centre to do the needful, including imposition of President's Rule in Manipur.
“Our State unit general secretary Th Shyamo has already placed the relevant materials including newspaper clippings to Advaniji. Besides this, I have also talked to him over the phone today,” said Manipur unit BJP president and former Speaker H Borobabu today afternoon.
“After he heard my account, Advaniji assured to urge the Centre to take necessary action including impo- sition of President's Rule in Manipur,” Borobabu, said.
“He (Advani) also assured to put the matter with all materials in Parliament tomorrow if time permits,” said the State unit BJP chief.
The State unit BJP leader also said that Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh should have resigned from his post on moral at the time when the Tahelka pictures were exposed.
When the Mumbai terror attack was launched, the then Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil resigned on moral ground and the Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdulah too took a similar step when he was accused in a sex scandal though his resignation was not accepted by the Governor, Borbabu said, acknowledging their stand.
CM Ibobi has totally failed to govern the State under the rule of law . Besides the emerging trend of fake encounters, with the public accusing him encouraging this, the Chief Minister who also holds the Home portfolio, has not been able to maintain financial discipline, charged Borobabu.
The public are totally fed up of his mis-governance and hence the need of the hour is to dismiss the Congress led SPF Government and impose President's Rule in Manipur, Borobabu further said.
