Joint Action Committee (JAC) against the killing of nine protesters in the Churachandpur has declared that the public should boycott all the elected tribal MLAs who refused to resign despite mounting pressure from all.
The decision was taken after an emergency meeting of the JAC on Saturday.
It may be mention that Kuki Innpi, Hmar Inpui and Zomi Council in their meeting on September 1 has asked the Hill Areas Committee (HAC) to take appropriate steps to either repeal the Bills or insert exceptional clause in the Bills within 10 days.
However no response from the HAC was received till today.
The tribal bodies had resolved that the JAC formed on September 2 will be the forum to spearhead all issues including the demand for a separate administration for the hill peoples of Manipur.
The JAC in its emergency meeting on September 7 had resolved to support the 10 day ultimatum served by the tribal apex bodies and agreed to boycott all elected tribal MLAs if no desirable response was received from the HAC by midnight of September 10 .
