Newmai News Network Imphal | November 29 The Joint Action Committee for Protection of Liangmai Ancestral Land (JAC-PLAL) stated today that "the certification of Nemcha Kipgen, MLA of Kangpokpi assembly constituency, to create Gorkhaland in the hill areas of Manipur to lure Nepali voters is simply a mockery and an abusive gesture". The Liangmai JAC advised Kipgen and a certain 'self styled' Gaon Bura Hari Nepal to run through the constitutionally protected land holding system of the tribal especially in the hill districts of Manipur "because it would be too costly to regret later on". This JAC-PLAL statement came at the backdrop of the torching incident of a house by 'unknown miscreants' at Poudel Basti recently. A statement from the JAC-PLAL stated that everyone in the area is concerned and looking for an amicable solution to the incident and called upon law enforcing agencies, district administrators and the general public “to revisit the roles and status of Mr. Nepal in the society".
