The Privilege Ethics Committee should put its report on the ongoing Assembly floor regarding what actions could be taken against 10 Kuki Zo MLAs who are trying to disintegrate Manipur, Imagi Meira media coordinator Palungbam Ranibala said on Sunday.
She was speaking to the media on Sunday at Manipur Press Club, Majorkhul in Imphal.
Ranibala said various civil bodies and local bodies have been demanding the abrogation of SoO with Kuki militants and full implementation of NRC.
The women body appreciated the state government for taking a unanimous decision on withdrawing SoO agreement with Kuki militants and to press the Union government to do the same.
She said the women’s body and people of Manipur are expecting a positive result under the leadership of Chief Minister N Biren Singh to end the present crisis.
Imagi Meira had been demanding necessary action against the 10 Kuki-Zo MLAs with the help of the Privilege Ethics Committee. However, not a single word on the report of the committee is heard on the ongoing Manipur Legislative Assembly session, she added.
The committee should place its report on the ongoing assembly floor highlighting what action could be taken against the 10 MLAs and what punishment could be given to them for trying to disintegrate Manipur, she said.
The women’s group strongly condemned the total shut-down imposed by the Committee on Tribal Unity (COTU) in Kangpokpi district against the decision of the ongoing assembly on the SoO issue, said Ranibala. The state government should take necessary action against COTU, she demanded.
Stating that the state police are trying to nab village defence volunteers since the past few days, even conducting frequent search operations, Imagi Meira advisor Ngangbam ongbi Guno Devi appealed to the state government to stop disturbing the village defence volunteers.
