IMPHAL: BJP leader L K Advani has assured a party delegation from the North-East that he would highlight the chaotic situation besetting Manipur in the wake of the July 23 Imphal "fake encounter" and the alleged failure of the Okram Ibobi Singh government in the ongoing Parliament session.

On Monday, Advani promised this to party's N-E in-charge P Chandrasekhar Rao and Manipur unit secretary L Basanta Sharma who met him at his residence along with other members from the region.

"As briefed by our team assisted by the party's national spokesman Prakash Javedkar, Advaniji said he'd raise all important issues besetting Manipur in Parliament," Basanta said.

The delegation briefed the BJP leader about the collapse of education system in the state following boycotting of classes by three student bodies for the past three months in protest against the July 23 shootout, he added.

"Among various points, we mentioned about the alleged nexus between security forces and certain underground groups and their indulgence in extortion. Besides, the alleged piling of assets and property by the CM disproportionate to his known sources of income was also highlighted," Basanta added.

BJP leader Arun Jaitley along with Prakash Javedkar have also assured the delegation of highlighting the issue in Rajya Sabha.

On July 23, Manipur police commandos gunned down Chungkham Sanjit Singh, a "reformed" rebel, and a pregnat woman in an alleged fake encounter at the crowded Khwairamband market.

A civil movement led by Apunba Lup erupted against the incident after a national magazine published photographs showing Sanjit being surrounded by commandos before his death.

The government instituted a judicial inquiry to probe the incident and has suspended seven commandos, including a sub-inspector.
