We all know, Oh! not only the Manipuris but also people from outside the state of Manipur knew that the Chief Minister of Manipur, Mr. Okram Ibobi Singh was at the zero level before the Mr. Th. Muivah plans to visit his ancestral villege i.e. Somdal in Ukhrul District of Manipur.
Until recently, Manipur witnesses burning of Chief Minister's effigy, demonstrations against congress led government, bandhs anainst fake encounters, general strikes agianst non-payment of salaries, pen down strkies against non adoption of the priviledge for the state employess and whats not? The Chief Minister was totally Zero, his head must be boiling with loads of demands, lack of governance and financial shortages.
The proposed visit of Somdal village by Muivah inturn has become a blessing in disguish for the state chief minister in particular and and congress led government which always faces some kind or the other demonstrations in day to day life of the state. It may not be wise to say a blessing in disguise, but it is somehow true to the condition of the state government. Ibobi government ragain the trust of the people, the people whose voices echoes in different directions now flows with the voice of the government.
The Chief Minister was summoned to New Delhi in the first week of May and asked to let Muivah visit his birthplace. A group of ministers led by P Chidambaram, Pranab Mukherjee and AK Antony met him and tried convincing him to let Muivah visit the State, but the plea was turned down flatly by Singh. Thus, he become a Hero from this point in his state.
No more complain: Do you think Manipur is completely sufficient in all kinds of commodities, daily needs, foods or petrol? No no no no, no way. People are starving, petrol pumps has become dry land, prices of goods and FMCG are rocketting to its maximum high, life saving medicines run dry. But, there is no more demonstrations, no one is complaining, no more strikes, no more rally against the government. This is the outcome of a firm stand by the now Hero Ibobi against the plea made by the centre government.
Now, the then Zero Ibobi has become Hero Ibobi. Long Live the Unity of Manipuri.
Let the multiple kingdoms in Churachandpur District of Manipur learn how to protect the integrity of the so called Zogam, Kukiland, Homeland, Simgam, Zougam or Hmarram from this development.
