Imphal, May 24 2017:
Taking strong exception to the
'concocted' allegations levelled
against him regarding
distribution of PDS rice under
National Food Security Act,
MLA of Lilong AC Md Abdul
Nasir declared that defamation
suit will be filed against those
groups who made the allegations.
Addressing a press meet
held at his official residence
at Babupara today, the MLA
clarified that distribution of
subsidised PDS rice under the
Act is managed by officials
concerned of the Department.
He said that any MLA cannot interfere in distribution of PDS rice
as per the rules of the Act.
He rebuffed the allegations made by some groups through
media that there has been no distribution of subsidised PDS
rice in Lilong area.
"As the allegations were made to reap political mileage and
tarnish my image, defamation suit will be filed against the
groups," the MLA declared.
He appealed to media houses to verify such serious allegations
before publishing it.
MLA Abdul Nasir added that he will pay inspection visit
to the areas of Lilong to ascertain whether PDS rice is properly
distributed or not.
