| 2007-11-09 |
| (PTI) Expressing 'serious concern' over the frequent arrests of hardcore militants from residences of legislators here during the past few months, Manipur government has warned that it would take stern action against any MLA, minister or official harbouring militants. As the matter became a very complicated issue causing grave concern among the top authorities, a cabinet meeting presided over by chief minister O.Ibobi decided to take legal action against any VIP or VVIP found to be giving shelter to members of banned outfits, P K Singh, secretary to chief minister said. The meeting followed the arrest of a militant of banned People's Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak (PREPAK) identified as Kh. Milan from the house of sitting CPI MLA Bora Jao at the high-security Babupara VIP area in the heart of the city on Saturday last. 'From now onwards the government will immediately withdraw security guards provided to any MLA or minister and initiate legal action action against them if they (VIP or VVIP) were found sheltering militants,' Singh said. |
