Imphal, August 23 2018:
A twin sit-in-protests was staged today under the aegis of the UCM against any plan to extend Article 371A or any similar arrangement to Manipur as a fallout of the Framework Agreement signed between the Government of India and NSCN-IM on August 3, 2015.The first protest demonstration was staged at Senjam Khunou and it was jointly organised by Senjam Khunou Development Club and Senjam Khunou Apunba Nupi Lup.
The gathering categorically stated that any solution worked out between Gol and NSCN-IM should not impinge upon the integrity of Manipur and the sanctity of its territorial boundary in any manner.
They demanded an immediate State Assembly session in order to adopt a concrete resolution on the issue.
They also put up placards which read as "We condemn Government of India's sectarian policies".
A similar protest demonstration was also staged at Iroishemba.
