Imphal, August 28 2023:
Stating that the assembly session to be conducted for a day is irrational and is aimed only to prevent dissolution of the BJP government, Coordinating Committee of 27 Assembly Constituencies questioned what resolution can be adopted in a day's sitting.
In a release, Committee convenor L Binodkumar Singh informed that a joint meeting of the executive committee was conducted in Kumbi AC during which those present questioned how a one day sitting of the assembly could take decisions on the restive situation which need thorough discussions.
Such act of disrespecting the people and calling assembly session for a day only for just petty party politics is unfortunate.
Pointing out that the present situation regarding internet service has caused digital divide among the people, the assembly session should look into the matter and take resolution so as to bridge the gap.
The policy of facilitating internet connection by providing service only to broadband and lease line is differentiating the rich and the poor which the commoners will not accept.
Violating the right of the people and making it a money minting ground for major service provider will not be accepted, the meeting maintained, while demanding to ensure mobile internet service to the people.
It cautioned that they are prepared to launch intense form of agitation and added that the deadline for mobile internet service will be decided after meeting authorities concerned.
The assembly session should discuss constitutional protection to Manipur territorial integrity and end the frequent threat to the territory due to one issue or another.
Regarding the discussion to provide greater autonomy to hill area councils, the committee will never accept any appeasement politics or policies the same will harm the interest of the people, the release added.
