Speaking on the sidelines, convenor of the women’s body Th Sujata said the sitting of Manipur Legislative Assembly started from February 28, and Imagi Meira has been demanding to place reports of privilege ethics committee against 10 Kuki Zo MLAs who are trying to disintegrate Manipur by demanding a separate administration.

Since the Assembly started, the sitting report was not placed on the assembly floor despite frequent demands from Imagi Meira, she added.

She said the 60 legislators took oath to protect Manipur and serve the state for the welfare of the people. However, 10 Kuki-Zo MLAs openly demanded for a separate administration, She said. The issue needs to be discussed on the assembly floor as what action should be taken against those 10 MLAs trying to disintegrate Manipur, she asserted.

Sujata said Chief Minister N Biren Singh also expressed earlier that the present crisis is instigated by the Kuki narco-terrorists. Therefore, demanding a separate administration by the 10 Kuki-Zo MLAs showed that they are also supporting the narco-terrorists, she added.

She further questioned why the state government is unable to take any necessary action against the 10 Kuki-Zo MLAs who are trying to disintegrate Manipur.
