The state government must immediately revoke the 'impugned' order issued by the speaker of Manipur Legislative Assembly on September 1, it warned, adding that the order which was issued in an unconstitutional manner is totally unacceptable.
The meeting also resolved to demand the government to table the proposed Manipur (Hill Areas) Autonomous District Councils bill 2021 put forth by the Hill Areas Committee members, which is enshrined under Para 2 of the Third Schedule to the Manipur Legislative Assembly (HAC) Order, 1972 and Rule 12A of the rule of business of the Government of Manipur 1972, it added.
