Imphal, September 19 2021:
Joint Action Committee (JAC) Against the Splitting of Kyamgei Muslim Arapti Gram Panchayat and Keirao Makting Gram Panchayat has strongly rejected the the attempt to amalgamate two minority areas, two Gram Panchayats in Keirao AC, to be specific.
Speaking to media persons at Manipur Press Club here on Sunday, JAC convener Nijamuddin suspected that there might be some hidden agenda behind the amalgamation process as such move is not initiated in any constituency other than Keirao AC.
Such process is an act of discriminating the minority community, he said, while adding that people will not see the process as discriminatory had the same been done after the local MLA discussed it with CSOs of the four villages and local leaders.
Making it clear that they will not allow any changes in Kyamgei Muslim Arapti and Keirao Makting Gram Panchayats, he cautioned that unwanted incidents will occur if the status quo in the two GPs is not maintained.
He further urged the CM and the RD & PR minister to look into the matter immediately.
