Manipur tribal MLAs urge Modi to not pull out Assam Rifles from state

The legislators sent this submission a day after 40 MLAs of the ruling Manipur coalition wrote to PM Modi seeking complete disarmament, withdrawal of the Suspension of Operation agreement with surrendered militant groups, and removal of the Assam Rifles.

The 40 MLAs -- from BJP, Naga People's Front, Nationalist People's Party(NPP) and one Independent legislator -- in their memorandum, sought removal of the Assam Rifles from the force's present location of deployment and said that other "trustworthy central forces" along with the state police be stationed in their place. Meitei groups and Meira Paibis (collective of Meitei women) have accused the Assam Rifles of being biased in discharging their duty, sheltering Kuki militants, and also using excessive force in dealing with Meitei women protesters.
