Imphal, May 04 2010:
The Rongmei Lu Phuam (RLP) has conveyed support to the demand of tribal frontal organisations like UNC, ANSAM, NWUM and the Manipur Tribal Joint Action Committee Against Election Under Unwanted District Council Act and others for deferring the Autonomous District Council (ADC) election till the ADC Act 2008 is revised.
A press release issued by the RLP asserted that the Government of Manipur ought to respect the due rights of the tribal people which are enshrined in the Constitution of India.
It appealed to all candidates to withdraw their nominations from the ADC elections.
It also denounced the decision of SPF Cabinet to prevent NSCN (IM) General Secretary Th Muivah from visiting his native village Somdal in Ukhrul district and other areas.
