Imphal, December 20 2023:
After approaching the Speaker of Manipur Legislative Assembly to process punitive action against the 10 Kuki MLAs for attempting to divide and destroy Manipur by demanding separate administration for the Kukis, veteran politician O Joy is all set to pursue his demand at the meeting of the Committee on Privilege and Ethics of the assembly on Thursday.
Maintaining that agenda of the 10 Kuki MLAs to destroy the territorial integrity of Manipur, through demand for separate administration, is an affront to prestige of the House, O Joy had written a letter to the State Assembly Speaker on May 18 last.
Consequent to his letter, O Joy received a reply from the Manipur Legislative Assembly deputy secretary on December 15 granting him (O Joy) permission to speak at the meeting of the Committee on Privilege and Ethics which will be held on Thursday In his letter to the Speaker, O Joy pointed out that if the MLAs, who have taken oath to protect the territorial integrity of Manipur, try to destroy Manipur then they are no longer MLAs of the state.
The assembly as well as the government should not tolerate such acts of the MLAs but initiate action against them under the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business Rule 300 of the Manipur Legislative Assembly.
