The Congress sought immediate intervention of the Election Commission on a purported letter issued by the Kuki National Organisation (KNO) in support of the BJP just three days ahead of the polling in the first phase of the Manipur Assembly polls on February 28, calling it an attempt to intimidate the voter.
The party also pointed out that the letter that has been doing the rounds on social media since Friday comes just three days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi and two days after Home Minister Amit Shah’s visit to the State.
The KNO statement apparently signed by outfit’s president P. S. Haokip says as the Union Home Minister and the BJP leadership have promised “swift settlement of Kuki aspirations”, the outfit will support all BJP candidates in the upcoming Assembly polls and warned that acting against its appeal would be seen as “acting against Kuki interests”.
