Lamka, January 09 2010:
While acclaiming the Cabinet decision of December 31 that ADC polls should be completed within April, Manipur Tribals Council today insisted for a clear-cut date for the poll as it feared the Govt would once again flout its own decision as had happened over the past ten years.
The MTC in its petition today called on the Chief Minister to declare a precise date for the poll in the State Assembly's business session scheduled to begin from January 13 .
Our tolerance should not be taken as our weakness.
Failure of the Government to honour our demand will force us to adopt the most extreme steps or rather initiate a step for a separate administrative unit for the tribals in Manipur.
And we are fully prepared for the same,' the Council said.
