And other suggestions was that of the implementation of the 6th Scheduled of the Indian constitution to Naga inhabited region of the state.
The 6th Scheduled was passed by the Manipur Assembly during Chief Minister RK Ranbir Sana by adding a provision ‘Local Adjustment’.
As local adjustment mentioned in the bill passed by the state assembly did not mention the its meaning the center still asked the Manipur government to give the exact meaning of the local adjustment. This suggested that the Central government is either extending the Article 371 (A) to the Naga inhabited area of the region or implement the 6th scheduled.
Both the extension of Article 371 (A) or the 6th Scheduled is no difference from dividing the state on ethnic line and both this form of solution will not be accepted by the CCSK, AMUCO and the UCM.
