Reiterating their demand for a “separate administration”, ten Kuki-Zomi-Hmar MLAs from Manipur, on August 25 hit back at Chief Minister N. Biren Singh saying that they have had no communication with the Chief Minister since violence first broke out in the state on May 3.
‘No Communication With CM Since May 3’, Says Kuki-Zo-Hmar MLAs From Manipur
This claim from the MLAs came in response to N. Biren Singh’s remark that he was in touch with the Kuki-Zo-Hmar MLAs from the state.
The Chief Minister on August 24 had said that he was in touch with the legislators from the Kuki-Zomi-Hmar community and would provide adequate security for them to attend the upcoming assembly session slated for August 29 in Imphal.
“I have told the MLAs that I will provide them with security and that we must work together to restore normalcy. I have also spoken to the civil society organisations in Imphal (Meitei groups) and said that the MLAs should not be stopped from visiting the valley (Imphal) for work,” N. Biren Singh had said.
