Imphal, May 10 2016:
The Peoples Democratic Alliance (PDA)
strongly urge the President of India not to give
assent to anti-National and anti- Tribal Bills in
order to protect the rights and interest of the in-
digenous tribal people in the present State of
Manipur.
The PDA alleged that the infamous anti
tribal bills and resolutions that were passed
on August 31 last year were without the
consent and consultation of all stakeholders.
The bills were passed by the Manipur Leg-
islative Assembly bypassing the authority of
the Hills Areas Committee (HAC) which is
empowered by article 371 (C) of the Con-
stitution of India by presenting the Bills as
a money Bills.
