The state government on Wednesday demanded a thorough probe into the allegations that security personnel forced to remove the state’s name on a bus, which took journalists to the Shirui Lily festival.

Manipur removed from a state bus itself is anti-Manipur: Meitei Coordinating Committee convenor

According to news agency PTI, the security personnel stopped the bus, which was on its way to Shirui Lily festival with a group of journalists, who were  going to cover the event.  The security personnel allegedly forced Directorate of Information and Public Relations staffers to cover the state’s name written on the windshield with a white paper.

Amid the outrage, protesters demanded an apology from Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla, and  resignations of Security Advisor Kuldiep Singh, DGP Rajiv Singh and Chief Secretary Prashant Kumar Singh. The Meitei Coordinating Committee convenor stated, “The decision to have Manipur removed from a state bus itself is anti-Manipur, absolutely challenges the idea of Manipur and its historical and cultural identity”.

The government had reported formed a two member enquiry committee to check the facts and circumstances over which the untoward incident took place. It would provide effective measures to ensure the avoidance of any such occurrences in the future. The committee is expected to submit a report for the same within a period of 15 days.

The Shirui Lily festival is celebrated in Manipur, after a gap of 2 long years, due to Kuki-Meitei conflict brewing in the state which led to the President rule after the resignation of CM N Biren Singh.
