While wishing the people of the region on occasion of the Sajibu Nongma Panba Cheiraoba, armed rebel group expressed its strong concern for protection of the Indigenous people of the state as well as protecting the territorial integrity of the state.
In a statement the outfit said that on several occasion warning has been made against the non-indigenous people from contesting the election.
Reacting to some of the organization which said that the so called MLA which got elected from Jiribam Assembly constituency has been settling in the region since 1906, the Moaist said that no matter he settled from that time he cannot be still considered as an indigenous people.
The statement further said that the MLA can never be a part of the Meitei Pangal and people had never opposed to the participation of of any Pangal MLA to any of the Ministry.
If some of the organization demanding seat for the said MLA from Jiribam Assembly constituency why cannot they urged some Muslim MLA who were elected in the recent election and make them joined the government to get a Ministerial berth just as MLA Shyamkumar of Andro Assembly constituency had done.
The statement also added that Manipur had witness a muslim becoming the chief Minister of the state, the previous government had many muslim (Meitei Pangal) Ministers and none from any section of the society had opposed.
The rebel group while wishing the people of the state and the region a grand Sajibu Cheiroaba appealed Meitei Pangal people not to allow seat to new entry muslim as it would distort the significance of the community which has been taking part at different occasion in the history of Manipur .
