Manipur, Kuki legislators to boycott Assembly session

New Delhi: “A big shout-out to the Indian Army for their dedication in bringing them (212 Meiteis) home,” tweeted Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh, even as the Assembly session summoned from Monday could be boycotted by Kuki legislators.

Owing to large-scale



demands from opposition parties and civil society organisations, the beleaguered Manipur government headed by Biren Singh has decided to convene the Assembly session on Monday (August 21).

But the 10 Kuki-Zo legislators have announced that they will not attend the upcoming session.
