Imphal, March 24, 2025: Rajkumar Imo Singh, the MLA representing Sagolband Assembly Constituency, has formally urged the Union Home Minister to ensure a fair, transparent, and inclusive delimitation process in Manipur. His appeal follows the recent Supreme Court directive mandating the completion of the delimitation exercise in several states, including Manipur, within three months.<\/p>\n
In his detailed representation, Imo Singh underscored several key demands aimed at preserving electoral integrity and protecting the socio-political fabric of the state:<\/p>\n
1. Finalize NRC Process: Prioritize the completion of the National Register of Citizens to ensure that only genuine Indian citizens are included in the electoral process.<\/p>\n
2. Electoral Roll Review: Conduct a comprehensive review to identify and remove bogus voters and unauthorized entries from the voter lists.<\/p>\n
3. Eliminate Fake Aadhaar Cards: Verify and remove fraudulent Aadhaar cards before linking them with Voter IDs to ensure accuracy and credibility.<\/p>\n
4. Constitutional Safeguards for Indigenous Valley Residents: Reserve 40 Assembly seats for the indigenous population in Manipur\u2019s valley region to protect against demographic shifts and uphold the socio-cultural identity of the region.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Rajkumar Imo Singh emphasized that delimitation in Manipur must be handled with care, given the state’s diverse ethnic composition and recent unrest.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In a related development, Union Minister Rajkumar Ranjan Singh has proposed carving out a new unreserved Lok Sabha seat by combining eight currently unreserved Assembly constituencies from the Outer Manipur Lok Sabha segment. This proposal seeks to enhance fair representation for underrepresented communities.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As the delimitation deadline approaches, these appeals highlight the urgency of balancing demographic realities with constitutional and cultural protections in Manipur\u2019s evolving political landscape.<\/p>\n
