IMPHAL | Sept 3
MLA, Ashab Uddin strongly condemned the allegation made by social activist, Ningthoucha Lancha that he is a not an indigenous person of the state during a meeting on September 1 at Manipur Press Club.
Speaking to media persons today at his quarter at Babupara, Ashab claimed that his father and mother were state government employees and moreover, his grandfather was a pradhan.
He asked “how will people elect me as representative if I am a Bangladeshi?” Such meaningless statement made by Lancha is to tarnish my image, added Ashab.
“If anyone can rightly prove that I am a Bangladeshi, I will immediately resign from the MLA seat on moral ground,” said the MLA.
He warned that legal action will be taken against anyone who made such false allegation.
Ashab said that the new government under the leadership of chief minister, N. Biren is working very hard to bring all round development in Jiribam district.
He said that the government is giving priorities to education, health, and transport.
