Meanwhile government is all set to called an emergency sitting of the Manipur Legislative Assembly. However unless the Business Committee of the Manipur State Legislature has confirmed the date for sitting of the emergency session it cannot be assured that the Bill will pass this month or next month.
A highly placed however informed to Imphal Times that government is preparing to hold the emergency sitting within this month.
