She alleged that the authorities are not enforcing law and order uniformly across the hill and valley regions.
Sujata further stated the recent disappearance of a youth, Mukesh, amid the imposition of PR in the state marking as evidence of the continued insecurity faced by the people.
Following the insecurity faced by the people of Manipur, Sujata urged all MLAs to immediately clarify their position on government formation.
Moreover, she called on the MLAs to prioritize the needs of the state and exercise their own will and power in ruling, rather than waiting for directives from the central government.
