BJP MLA slams Manipur tribal MLAs for meeting Mizoram CM
Manipur BJP MLA Rajkumar Imo Singh on Saturday slammed State’s legislators for meeting Mizoram Chief Minister Zoramthanga.
Singh, the son-in-law of Chief Minister N.
Biren Singh, said in X, formerly Twitter, that as the ten MLAs are demanding a separate state they should resign from the assembly.
“If they are not serious in bringing peace here and only stuck with the demand, then I really urge them all to resign from the Manipur Legislative Assembly, as it is morally not correct to remain in public office of the state, taking salary from the state and also talk about division and separation from the state.”
Singh said that it is better to have legislators in these constituencies from other tribal communities who are willing to work unitedly for the progress of the state.
“I thus request my fellow legislators to come back to the state and work unitedly for a peaceful and prosperous Manipur or resign from their respective posts honourably and continue with their demand and contest from some other state,” he said.
“Did they allow this conflict to take place? Are all the 10 signatories (MLAs) doing it willingly or being forced to do so by pressure groups and insurgent groups? Who is responsible for the loss of lives in the state resulting out of the rally due to the High Court Order? Couldn’t the organisation just appeal to the Supreme Court, thus no rally, no violence, no conflict? On the pretext of the High Court Order, was the solidarity rally on May 3 pre-planned to show it as a sacrifice to seek this new separate state demand ?,” the BJP MLA asked.
He said that people of the state want to live in a peaceful state with no such conflict, a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic state of 34-35 indigenous tribes.
