Manipur : Insurgent groups call for boycott of PM Modi’s visit and state-wide shut down on March 16
Imphal, March 14 (IBNS): The Coordinating Committee (CorCom), an umbrella group of six underground Manipuri outfits has called for a boycott Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Manipur and a state-wide shut down on March 16.
PM Modi and Union Home minister Rajnath Singhare scheduled to visit Manipur to inaugurate the 10th Indian Science Congress at Manipur University on March 16.
Around 5,000 delegates, including 2,000 scientists from different parts of the country, will be participating in the mega event.
However, the CorCom publicity committee said that the total shut down will not cover students appearing for the ongoing examinations, ot those attending religious functions, medical services and emergency services.
The CorCom alleged that by imposing several black laws, New Delhi has been encouraging its military forces to commit all kinds of atrocities in the region.
PM Modi is scheduled to arrive in Imphal on March 16 morning and will lay the foundation stones of several programmes, including Luwangpokpa Multi Sports Complex at Luwangshangbam and Mary Kom’s Boxing Academy in Imphal West district, and a sports university.
Meanwhile, security measures have been tightened across the state ahead of PM Modi’s visit.
