In a statement issued to Newmai News Network tonight, the UNC said, “If one is not oblivious, the UNC has earlier declared the third amendment of ADC 2008 and The Manipur (Hill Areas) District Councils (sixth amendment) Act 2022 as null and void.”

While rejecting the said amendments, the UNC said that recommendation for nomination of adhoc committee by the HAC without any basis and provision is “all unbecoming and absurd”.
