Imphal, July 10 2023:
Veteran politician Okram Joy has enquired about the show cause notice served on the 10 Kuki MLAs who raised the demand for a separate administration.
Speaking to media persons at Manipur Press Club here today, O Joy pointed out that a show cause notice was served on the 10 MLAs and they were asked to give their reply to the Assembly Secretariat by June 16 .
The Assembly Secretariat ought to inform the public about the status of the show cause notice, he said.
O Joy said that he submitted a letter to the Manipur Legislative Assembly Speaker today seeking the status of the show cause notice.
Pointing out that all MLAs took oath to adhere to and uphold the Constitution of India, Joy said that breaking the same oath amounts to challenging the Constitution.
The demand for creation of a separate administration is a matter which should be discussed only in the State Assembly and whatever decision adopted in the State Assembly should be respected by the Government of India, Joy added.
