Manipur Police on Tuesday arrested senior spokesperson of Manipur State Congress Committee (MPCC) Sanaojam Samachoron Singh for allegedly using derogatory language against Union Home Minister Amit Shah and abusive remarks against the “mainland Indian” during a discussion on Impact TV, a local TV channel.
Sanaojam Samachoron Singh, by profession is a lawyer, practicing in the lower court. He was arrested following a complaint filed by the president of BJP Yuva Morcha (BJYM), Manipur Manoharmayum Barish Sharma.
The lawyer was one of the panelists on a talk show of the channel on April 9 which debated the statement of Shah that Hindi language would be made compulsory till class 10 in the Northeastern states including Manipur.
As per the complaint, the lawyer not only abused the “mainland Indian” but also used “foul and derogatory” language against Shah.
The complainant further said the lawyer deliberately “humiliated” and “belittled the Hindus of mainland India” by even terming them as “animals” and continued to use derogatory language despite other panelists restraining him to do so.
“The very act of the accused is deliberate and malicious which bring into hatred, contempt and excites the innocent public against the government established by law and intended to outrage religious feelings of religious belief of Hindus of mainland India including Manipuri Hindus,” the complaint stated.
On late Tuesday evening S. Samachoron was arrested and detained at Imphal City Police station. He was reportedly produced before a duty magistrate and it is reported that he was granted Bail.
More details awaited.
