Imphal, June 12 2013:
Terming the manner in which CISF personnel deployed at the Chief Minister's Secretariat frisked the Cabinet Ministers after being called by the Chief Minister for a Cabinet meeting yesterday as hurting the prestige of the Ministers, Opposition MLA Dr I Ibohalbi has demanded for a suo moto privilege on the issue.
MLA Dr I Ibohalbi was speaking during the Zero Hour session of the State Assembly today.
He stated that the checking and frisking of the Cabinet Ministers by the personnel of CISF was really unfortunate and it is indeed a case of spoiling the prestige of the Ministers.
He further stated that spoiling the prestige of the Cabinet Ministers is also a clear case of damaging the prestige of the House as a whole.
As such the concerned authority should see whether a suo moto privilege can be taken up in this regard or not.
