In a statement, the organisation said that MLA Antas along with his escort personnel and supporters fired several rounds near Lilong oil pump on February 12 night and threatened local people.
Several moving cars, houses and shops were damaged in the incident.
Apart from threatening people, false charges were levelled against local elders and youth including former speaker Maniruddin Sheikh's son Rahman Sheikh and filed criminal cases against them, the organisation said and warned of boycotting the MLA if FIRs filed against innocent people were not withdrawn at the earliest.
The organisation also alleged that MLA Antas Khan's action was deliberate attempt to uproot indigenous people of Manipur with a sinister plan.
