Imphal, July 12 2020:
The All Manipur Muslim Coordinating Committee (AMMOCOC) today said it would be best to conduct the delimitation based on 2021 census report.
Speaking to media persons at its office at Hatta in Imphal East, AMMOCOC president SM Jalal said he feels that the 2001 census report was collected on the table by imagining the population.
"Conducting the delimitation based on the faulty report is not fair," he said.
"The 2021 census report should be collected based on the Aadhaar data," he said.
He also suggested an academic discourse where civil society organizations of various communities, intellectuals and academicians participate to find a solution.
Clarifying on a news report about AMMOCOC organizing a meeting with other Pangal civil society organizations on July 7 at the residence of Md Abdul Razaq where a statement was issued regarding delimitation, he said that meeting had nothing to do with AMMOCOC and it was done by some persons with vested interests to defame AMMOCOC.
