The MLA discussed the pre-vailing situation with the peo-ple of Sagolband AC during a public meet at his residence on Saturday which mainly dwelt on what step he should take if Union home minister Amit Shah fails to bring solution during his three-day visit to the state beginning from May 29.After threadbare discussion of the present situation, the meeting convened by RK Imo was unanimous that violence should be the last resort for mankind.
The meeting later arrived at an eight-point reso-lution to bringback peace and normalcy in the state.
The resolutions included protection of territorial integ-rity of Manipur at any cost; the MLA to work with people of the constituency and state and resign at the first instance if the Central government fails to restore normalcy; deployment of adequate security to bring peaceful atmosphere in both hills and valley and stringent action against armed militants across the state; arrangement for temporary settlement of internally displaced people till return to their native places; conduct of NRC across the state; prevent influx of all foreign nationals by sealing the inter-national borders.
Meanwhile, declaring that he has no more faith in the government of India and time to appeal to them is over, Patsoi MLA Kunjakeshore declared he will join the people at the slightest instance to disinte-grate Manipur.
Addressing media persons at his Tera bazar residence on Sunday, Kunjakeshore alias Keba opined that even though the Union government assured to keep intact the territorial integrity of Manipur and bring normalcy, there is no sign of improvement and their com-mitment is becoming suspi-cious day by day.
