IMPHAL, December 28: Berating at the Congress party is wrong and unethical, said Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh today while celebrating the Indian National Congress`™ 129th foundation day at the Manipur Congress Bhavan, BT Road, Imphal.

He said the Congress is a secular party and gives space to each and every community.

The Indian Constitution is a product of the party`™s leaders, he said.

The party acknowledges the democratic rights like freedom of expression, religion which are included in the Indian Constitution, the State Chief Minister said.

What the Congress has achieved for the country during the last 60 years is something which every political party in the country should acknowledge, he continued.

The party has put the country in a level which is equal to the super powers in the world and has helped increased the Gross Domestic Product of the country, the Chief Minister said while adding that it is not the BJP or any other party which has helped in shaping the country.

India is today enjoying the fruits of what Congress had sown many years ago, Ibobi asserted before rebuking parties which have been criticising the Congress in recent times.

Criticising a Congressman is acceptable if he has done something wrong, but pointing fingers at the party is unacceptable, the Chief Minister asserted.

He further called for unity among the people of the State irrespective of hills or valley and to stand united for a stronger and more developed State.

Deputy Chief Minister Gaikhangam who is also the president of the Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee said the day is observed throughout the nation.

The INC is one of the oldest parties recognised in the entire world, he said.

There are many politicians who always make false promises to the people, he said. There are many who have singlehandedly brought down political parties like the MSCP, Federal Party of Manipur and the MPP rather than taking them forward, Gaikhangam said without naming anyone. However, the Congress continues to stand strong till date, he added.

The 129th foundation of Indian National Congress observation was also attended by party MLAs, block Congress committee members and other party workers.

As part of observance each executive members of block congress committee were felicitated with certificates and a gift.
