SENAPATI, Feb 13 (NNN): Senapati Disables` People Association Manipur (SDPAM) has decided to oppose the proposed 72 hours Manipur hill districts bandh by All Tribal Disables Union, Manipur (ATDUM). SDPAM has denounced the said bandh as “irrelevant and imposed by one self-styled president Momo Tantanga”.
Accusing Momo of taking the whole hill districts for ransom and defaming the ATDUM for personal gain and vested interest with the so called baseless 72hours bandh called from February 17 midnight, the SDPAM has called the general public to boycott the said bandh.
Sending out a warning to Momo, the SDPAM has warned that, he should immediately cease all activities related to ATDUM and its hill districts units or face serious disciplinary actions. It has recalled that, the ATDUM has disassociated with Momo Tantanga since June 2012, for which it has no reason to interfere and work with ATDUM activities.
“Therefore, Momo has no right to misuse the ATDUM issues for his personal greed and interest by calling a bandh and confusing the general publi,” SDPAM said.
The SDPAM then categorically appealed to all the ATDUM units, public transports, NGOs and civil bodies to boycott the self-styled one man 72 hours bandh. It also strongly warned Momo to immediately withdraw the statement, failure which the SDPAM in collaboration with ATDUM units will initiate action.
