Manipur: Meitei, Kuki MLAs' opposite demands over Assam Rifles in letter to PM | Oneindia News
The Meitei and Kuki MLAs of Manipur have written separate letters to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and made conflicting demands over the presence of Assam Rifles in the ethnic strife-affected state.
While 40 legislators, most of whom are Meiteis, sought removal of the countryโs oldest paramilitary force from the northeastern state, 10 Kuki MLAs urged Modi not to do so asserting this could jeopardise the security of the tribals.
Assam Rifles and other central forces including the Army were deployed in Manipur in early May to control the situation after clashes between Meiteis and Kukis broke out.
