The meeting unanimously resolved that ‘The recent order issued by the Manipur Legislative Assembly Secretariat on the 1st September 2021 appointing additional members from unscheduled areas other than what is specified in the First Schedule of the Presidential order of 1972 is unconstitutional and thus must be rescinded immediately as demanded by constitutional mandate and in the ends of justice.
The meeting also resolved to submit a memorandum to the authorities concerned at the earliest to highlight and address issues concerning The Hill Areas Committee (HAC) for redresser.
Those members of the HAC present in today’s meeting are – Awangbow Newmai, V. Hangkhanlian, D. Korungthang, D.D Thaisii, T, N. Haokip, Gaikhangam, N. Kayisil, Nemcha Kipgen, Khashim Vashum, Yamthang Haokip, Alfred Kanngam Arthur.
