IMPHAL, Apr 6: Proscribed outfit KCP-MC (Progressive) has claimed responsibility for the April 4 bomb blast at Manipur University campus. The operation was carried out as a warning to authorities of the MU involved in alleged acts of corruption, said the outfit in a statement today.
Reacting to an unrelated incident in which a female contestant was interrupted from answering a question in Manipuri language on stage during a pageant, the proscribed group said the Judge and the organiser should surrender before it.
The Judge who disrupted and disrespected the contestant and the "mother tongue" and the organiser of I-Glam Miss and Mister Manipur held at MU on March 28 must surrender before it within 5 days, said the proscribed group.
