Dimapur, August 29 (MExN): A Maring organization in Dimapur today issued stern warnings to a member of Manipur Legislative Assembly and another, an autonomous district council for consenting to an opposed agreement and the other for supporting the demand for ‘Sardar Hills District’ in Manipur.
The Maring Khulbung of Nagaland, based in Dimapur, expressed displeasure that MLA of 42-Tengnoupal assembly constituency W Morung Makunga has signed to the recognition of Khoibu community as a separate tribe in Manipur. He signed his consent during the Hills Area Committee meeting on August 23, in defiance of a memorandum of understanding between Maring tribe and the Government of Manipur on November 22, 2002, a note from the Maring Khulbung stated today.
The organization expressed regret that the MLA ‘sold his signature for narrow vote bank politics’ and without consulting the frontal organizations of the Mari people. The Maring Khulbung has asked the MLA to withdraw his signature within three days. The note warned that he would be held solely responsible for ‘any untoward incidents’ arising out of the issue in future if he fails to comply.
The Maring Khulbung also regretted that ML Dominic Maring, a Naga and ADC member from 23-Nongmaiching constituency ‘appended his signature’ in support of the ongoing demand in Manipur for a “Sardar Hills district.” The organizations had asked Dominic to withdraw his signature within three days. Failing to do so would result in his being “ousted totally” from “Nagalim” (sic) along with his family, the Maring Khulbung statement said.
