Imphal, May 22 2023:
Manipur Legislative Assembly Speaker Thokchom Satyabrata has stated that befitting legal action would be initiated against the 10 Kuki MLAs/Ministers who acted against the statute by demanding a separate administration for the Kuki community.
Notably, many CSOs, intellectuals and majority of the general public have expressed strong objection to the demand of the Kuki MLAs/Ministers.
Th Satyabrata said that all the 60 MLAs of the State are bound by the rules of the State Assembly and no MLA can defy or challenge the rules.
In case any Member/MLA defies the rules, befitting action must be initiated against the MLA, the Speaker said.
He also appealed to both the parties of the ethnic conflict which erupted on May 3 to calm down and reconcile with each other.
