The Naga People’s Front (NPF) Manipur State Unit has strongly condemned the bombing at the residence of Khashim Vashum, Minister of Transport, Veterinary, and Animal Husbandry, on the night of September 14 in Ukhrul’s Hamleikhong Colony. The attack, involving the detonation of an explosive device, has been labeled a “despicable crime” by the party.
In a statement issued today, the NPF described the act as a cowardly attempt to disturb the peace in Ukhrul. The party expressed grave concern over the disregard for human lives and the creation of fear within the community, calling the attack unacceptable in a civilized society.
The NPF stated that violence should never replace dialogue and mutual understanding, especially as Manipur continues to grapple with ongoing ethnic violence. Extending solidarity to Minister Vashum and his family, the party urged citizens to reject violence and unite against such acts of terror.
It may be noted that a bomb exploded inside the residence of Manipur Minister Khasim Vashum in Hamleikhong, Ukhrul, on Saturday night. Vashum, who serves as the Minister of Veterinary and Animal Husbandry and Transport, is a key figure in the Naga People’s Front (NPF), a coalition partner with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the state.
According to local media reports, the explosion occurred at approximately 8:40 p.m. on September 14, according to local police sources. Fortunately, the minister was not present at his residence during the time of the blast. Law enforcement authorities, including the Ukhrul police, promptly arrived at the scene to conduct a thorough assessment of the situation.
As of the latest reports, there have been no casualties associated with the explosion. The incident has raised concerns about the security of political figures in the region, and further investigations are underway to determine the motive behind this attack.
