‘Remove Kuldiep, handover unified command to CM’

Imphal: Shiv Sena Manipur unit has urged the central government to remove security advisor of Manipur, Kuldiep Singh and demanded to handover the unified command to chief  inister, N. Biren Singh.

President of Shiv Sena Manipur State Unit, M. Tombi, talking to reporters at its party office, here, made the demand.

He said the present security advisor of Manipur who is also unified command of law and order, Kuldiep Singh has failed to maintain law and order situation in Manipur.

He said he will go to Delhi to meet central leaders with a demand to remove Kuldiep Singh from being security advisor of Manipur.

Shiv Sena strongly condemned killing of four villagers of Haotak by Kuki militants and the demanded to book the culprits involved during the incident at the earliest.

It is unfortunate that Biren, governor Anusuiya Uikey and security advisor Kuldiep Singh have different statements regarding border town Moreh crisis in connection with the present unrest in Manipur, he added.

“Appointing a security advisor while there is a chief minister will be taken as insulting the whole people of Manipur,” Tombi said.

The BJP central government should not play such tactics any longer. If the central government continues to delay in solving the present crisis, then State Shiv Sena might boycott the upcoming Lok Sabha election at party level, he added.

Shiv Sena gives priority on safeguarding the territorial integrity and boundary of Manipur not in elections, he said.

State Shiv Sena astonishes the contradictory statement of security advisor, Kuldiep Singh against statement of governor and the chief minister on involvement of foreign militants in the present unrest, he added.

The party condoled on the demises of four villagers of Haotak who were killed by Kuki militants.

Tombi questioned why the government is not abrogating the SoO agreement with Kuki militants that are violating all the guidelines.

He said, Mizoram chief minister is against the international border fencing work with Mizoram and Myanmar. The pending international border fencing of Indo-Myanmar border bordering Manipur must be completed immediately, he demanded.
