Imphal, March 15 2016:
The Liangmai Naga Council, Manipur (LNC-M), the apex body of Liangmai tribe in Manipur, has reaffirmed its stand against the creation of Sadar Hills and Jiribam as full-fledged districts.
In a statement, LNC-M said that it will oppose creation of Sadar Hills and Jiribam as full-fledged districts tooth and nail.
The Govt of Manipur is expected to honour their previous memoranda and press statements on the matter, it said.
Undermining their voice to please certain section of people will only escalate the already disturbed atmosphere in Sadar Hills and Jiribam areas.
The Govt should not make a blunder of making any changes in the present set up without proper consultation and consent of every stake holder, it said.
The Govt would invite more trouble than peace in the State if it goes ahead with its reported plan to declare Sadar Hills and Jiribam as full-fledged districts, it said while adding that the Govt should take the responsibilities in case of any eventuality arising out of the situation.
