Earlier, the Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) on Friday strongly condemned the alleged bomb attack on the private residence of Congress President Keisham Meghachandra, Thoubal district, describing the incident as an attack on democratic norms and the political process.
Addressing a press conference at Congress Bhavan, MPCC Vice President Hareshwar Goshwami said the Congress Party viewed the blast seriously and maintained that political differences should be resolved through dialogue and peaceful means.
“If there are differences of opinion, they should be negotiated and settled through dialogue and other peaceful means,” Goshwami said while condemning the attack.
He said the bombing was not merely an attack on an individual but also an assault on the Congress Party and the democratic system.
According to Goshwami, no individual or organisation has so far claimed responsibility for the attack. He said that if the incident was carried out by any recognised underground organisation, the group should come forward and clarify its position. (ANI)
