Imphal(Manipur), June 8: A delegation of 25 MLAs from the BJP, NPP, and Congress met the Governor of Manipur today to raise concerns over the arrest of Asem Kanan, a key figure associated with Arambai Tenggol. The MLAs urged the Governor to intervene and secure his release, citing the delicate situation prevailing in the state.
However, Congress MLA Lokeswore clarified that Asem Kanan was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in connection with a specific case, and not due to his role in Arambai Tenggol. The Governor informed the delegation that out of the five individuals detained, Kanan was arrested by the CBI, while the remaining four were held by the state police.
BJP MLA Khumukcham Ibomcha stated that the delegation pressed the Governor to provide a clear explanation regarding Kanan’s arrest and ensure his release at the earliest. The MLAs’ intervention highlights the ongoing tensions and concerns in Manipur, with the Arambai Tenggol’s activities being a point of contention.
