At the airport, supporters chanted slogans such as “We support Oja Bimol” and “Stand for Oja Bimol” before his departure.
Speaking to media person , Akoijam said he was travelling to Delhi in response to the police summons. He urged people not to worry and expressed confidence that justice would prevail despite what he described as injustices against him.
He said the summons marked the beginning of a struggle against injustices faced by the people of Manipur for decades, linking the development to the state’s historical and political experiences.
The allegations remain unproven, and police proceedings are ongoing.
