In a bizarre act, members of the Manipur People Party (MPP) youth front Saturday greeted Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi staging a naked protest while the two leaders were on their way to Kangla Fort to address a public meeting.
MPP youth front staged the naked protest alleging Center’s failure to give a written statement regarding the reported creation of “supra-state body” for the Nagas in three states of Manipur, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. MPP youths who came out from its office at Statehood Square amidst the tight security, took off their clothes shouting slogans– “Long live Manipur,” “Go back Indian insincere leaders,” “We stand for territorial integrity of Manipur”.
MPP Youth Front general secretary, Maniton Singh said the protest was not anti-Indian but against the insincerity of the Congress leaders towards the people of the state.
“We have been requesting the UPA leaders at the Centre to make a clarification of the reported proposal for creating supra state body by way of submitting memoranda to the Prime Minister, Home Minister and UPA chairperson. But, none of them so far gave a positive reply,” he said.
