MPP appeals to KSDC

IMPHAL, November 19: Manipur Peoples Party appeals to the Kuki State Demand Committee to lift the indefinite total bandh imposed along the Kuki inhabited areas.

Speaking to media persons in the regard today, S Umananda Singh, President of the regional political party stated that a sense of congeniality among the different communities of the State should be brought to bring about development.

He stated that the boundaries of the State have been carved out by our ancestors and the same has been maintained by the ethnic communities without differences of opinion.

The President further mentioned the demand of the Inner Line Permit is supported by the political party and will join in the demonstrations to be organized at New Delhi on November 25.
