Imphal, August 03 2022:
Former MP and MLA BD Behring has appealed to tribal affairs & hills minister Letpao Haokip and Governor La Ganesan to be more cautious in dealing with the ADC Bills introduced in the assembly on Wednesday.
In a statement issued Wednesday, BD Behring stated that TA&H minister on Wednesday introduced two amendment Bills, namely, 15th and 16th, The Manipur (Hill Areas) District Council (6th Amendment) Bill, 2022 and The Manipur (Hill Areas) District Council (7th Amendment) Bill, 2022 in the on-going session of Manipur Legislative Assembly.
It is indicated that the 6th Amendment Bill has financial involvement and another 7th Amendment Bill has no financial involvement.
How is it possible that the Bill on the same subject matter is treated differently? Does it mean that one is going to be referred to the Hill Areas Committee (HAC) and another one passed directly by the House bypassing HAC?, questioned Behring.
