19th August, 2008 - M for Manipur and Monika's hartal

Manipur was shut today to protest against the exclusion of Monika Devi from the Olympics in what the Manipuris believe was a consipiracy hatched by Indian Olympic Association Chairman, Suresh Kalmadi and Director of SAI, R.K. Naidu. That may not be true because Kalmadi could not hatch a single sport person even after warming up the IOA seat for years, how can he hatch a conspiracy??
