IMPHAL, July 14 (NNN): The all Tribal Students’ Union Manipur (ATSUM) has appreciated the O Ibobi Singh led Secular Progressive Front (SPF) Government of Manipur for appointing Chingai constituency MLA MK. Preshow Shimray to the post of Deputy Speaker and Z. Kikhonbou Newmai of Tamei assembly constituency to the post of Vice-Chairman of Hill Area Committee (HAC).
ATSUM president Muan Tombing said the timely filling of the two important posts by the tribal without any opposition from other political parties is a good gesture that speaks volumes of message to the people that under the charismatic leadership of Shri O Ibobi, avenues are created for the Hill MLAs to venture into a broader spectrum of politics. It is indeed a test proving for the tribal to secure proper functioning of the Hill Areas Committee under 371-c of the constitution of India.
