Poll process for Outer Manipur seat set rolling

IMPHAL, Mar 28: The independent candidate for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, Valley Rose Hungyo today filed her nomination for fighting the Outer Manipur seat, while seeking the votes of the people of Manipur and promising to fulfill their expectations.Speaking to media persons, Valley Rose maintained that successive governments had failed miserably to govern on all fronts during the last few decades and had not safeguarded the lives and properties of the citizens. The social fabric had been fragmented to pieces and the seeds of hatred sown deeply among different groups of people, she said. The weak and the poor have been discriminated and further marginalised with the gap between the rich and the poor widening, she said adding that the land has been ruled by lawlessness and rights violation is the least concern for any group perpetrating it.She further promised that if she gets elected with the love and support of the people she would work for the repeal of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act, 1958 (AFSPA) and would also promote social harmony among all communities living in Manipur to ensure peaceful co-existence in the region. She also called for a good relationship with all the neighbouring states and checking of illegal migration in the north-eastern states, specially Manipur. No voting and contesting rights should be given to illegal migrants, she maintained.The citizens of 7 A/c in Thoubal district and Jiribam A/c who are now in No-II Outer Parliamentary constituency can only vote but not contest, which is deprivation of their democratic rights, she observed while asking for arrangements made for them to exercise their franchise equally as other citizens of the country. She also called for separate tribal/hill land laws based on the traditional system of land management.She further said that any work for development programmes including dams, and whatever works the government decides to take up should be done only with the prior consent of the people and implementation of all welfare and development programmes should be as per the needs of the people.Valley Rose Hungyo was born at Jawai village in Senapati district and will contest in the 15th Lok Sabha elections 2009 from the No. II Outer Manipur (ST) Parliamentary constituency as an independent candidate.

Karate Chop

By Rajinder Puri Journalists called Prakash Karat India’s most powerful man. More powerful than the PM, that is. They called him India’s second most powerful politician. Second to Sonia Gandhi, that is. Karat’s fame grew with his handling of the N-deal issue. How did he handle it? When the UPA government decided to execute the NDA government’s initiative for an Indo-US N-deal, Karat opposed it. He said national security and India’s independent foreign policy were compromised.
