Sir, this is a State which has two Constituencies for Lok Sabha. One is the Inner Manipur Lok Sabha Constituency and the other is the Outer Manipur Lok Sabha constituency. The Outer Manipur is the one which is located in the hills around the valley and they are primarily inhabited by two sets of tribes – the Naga tribe and the Kukis tribe. Sir, they had nine MPs so far. Of the nine MPs, five have been Tangkhul Nagas and four have been Kukis. The five Tangkhul Nagas are Sarvashri Rishang Keishing, Yangmaso Shaiza, R. Suisa, Kolo Kaiho, Meijinglung Kamson. The four Kuki MPs from Outer Manipur have been Shri Paokai Haokip, Shri N. Gouzagin, Shrimati Kimneilhing Gangte, and Shri Holkhomang Haokip.

(ends) 1701 hours SHRI HOLKHOMANG HAOKIP (OUTER MANIPUR): Sir, I am a very much affected MP from the North-East, particularly from Manipur. Before coming to the points, I want to raise before you, in this august House, two things. One is, who will bell the cat? This august House can bell the cat. The cat is the Tenth Schedule. The Tenth Schedule is so weak and you blame all the MLAs of Manipur. You can blame all the MLAs of other States also. It is not the only State where this headache of Ayaram andGyaram is there. Now, here, out of three MLAs, if one goes, it is very easy. Tenth Schedule has protected me. Or if out of 30 MLAs, 10 MLAs go, the Tenth Schedule has protected me.… (Interruptions) This one part of our Constitution is very bad. It is very good for Ayarams and Gyarams. It should be strong. Therefore, I propose to solve this problem in the long term. We must scrap this Tenth Schedule and enact a stronger law. In that case, none of our Parties will be decreased and there will be no Ayaram and Gyaram. It will decrease. There will be a stable Government in the whole of India.
