Thoubal, July 29 2023:
A unique rally was taken out in the surrounding areas of Yairipok Keithel today under the banner "Searching for missing 50 MLAs and Ministers of Manipur" by blowing Moibung (a wind instrument made of conch shell) .
The demonstrators said that they decided to hold the rally as these 50 MLAs have become voiceless when Manipur is burning literally since May 3 .
Speaking to the media, demonstrators L Sangeeta and S Mali asked if all the MLAs other than Kuki legislators had taken a collective resolution to remain quiet and only watch the unfolding situation in the State.
The narco-terrorists and Kuki legislators have openly threatened the unity and integrity of Manipur but what have these 50 MLAs done so far, the two women said.
How much more bloodshed and suffering would it take to wake up these 50 MLAs, they asked and claimed that they (the 50 MLAs) have gone missing when Manipur needs them the most.
The two women then asked the State Government to call an emergency session of the State Assembly and take a concrete stand to safeguard the State's integrity at all cost and send their resolution to the Parliament.
The protesters raised slogans such as "50 MLAs whisked away by Helloi", "Manipur MLAs missing" and others.
