IMPHAL, Jan 2 - BJP has appealed the United Naga Council (UNC) to immediately withdraw the ongoing economic blockade on the Highways of Manipur.

BJP spokesperson N Biren appealed the UNC to withdraw the blockade and urged it to seek �another forum� to achieve its demands.

Biren was speaking to reporters on his return from Delhi recently, where an eight-member BJP delegation met top Central leaders including Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on the issue.

Biren said, �The ruling Congress Government is answerable to the people of the State for the hardship faced by them.� He questioned whether it has made any formal effort at the Centre regarding the presence of NSCN (IM) camps in Manipur, the number of its cadre present in the State. � PTI
