Megachandra said, “We met Chief Minister N Biren Singh and sought permission for the venue of ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ at Hatta Kangjeibung in Imphal East district from where the rally is scheduled to be flagged off. However, the chief minister has declined to permit the same.” “It is very unfortunate. It is a murder of democracy and a violation of people’s rights. The proposed venue is also a public ground,” Keisham said while speaking on the state government’s decision.
