The minister pointed out that earlier Chongtham Bijoy Singh had also made such an unfounded allegation over former BJP Manipur President Th. Chaoba Singh and the current BJP Manipur President A Sarda Devi which had landed him into trouble as he was expelled from the primary membership of the party for violating the party's rules and regulations under Article XXV, Breach of Discipline clause (b), and (d).
According to him, the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) is about to go into effect and will force minor ethnic groups to adopt the practises of the big ethnic groups, which is against religious liberty and ethnic culture.
He was reacting to a list of arrested persons prepared by the police which disclosed their political affiliation. According to the list, the majority of the arrested were either from the TMC or the BJP.
Opposition Congress on Wednesday asked the Manipur government and the ruling BJP to clarify their stand about the demand of a saffron party MLA Paolienlal Haokip to divide the state into three Union Territories to restore peace and normalcy in the violence hit state.
