FIR against Manipur tribal leader over self-govt claims
Imphal, Nov 17: Manipur police has registered an FIR against a senior leader of a tribal organisation on the charge of conspiring to wage war against the government of India.
The step was taken against Indigenous Tribal Leaders Forum (ITLF) general secretary Muan Tombing who recently said that the Kuki community will have its own separate chief minister and officials whether the Centre recognises it or not.
Tombing had also said that a plan is being made for the past one month that the Kuki Zo people in Tengnoupal, Kangpokpi and Churachandpur districts will have self-rule.
A complaint was filed against him by the Churachandpur police station officer in charge N Thangzamuan.
Manipur government had condemned the call for self-government by the ITLF and called the declaration as having no legal or constitutional basis.
Education Minister Th Basantakumar Singh also said, "The irresponsible statements appear to be motivated and aimed at vitiating and disturbing the law and order situation in the state."

Vijay unable to prove majority, not invited for CM oath ceremony: Sources
Chennai: Actor-politician Vijay has reportedly not been invited to take oath as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu after failing to demonstrate support from the required number of MLAs, sources in Raj Bhavan said.
According to media reports that quoted sources in the office of R.N. Ravi Arlekar, Vijay could not prove the backing of 118 legislators, the majority mark in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly.
Despite last-minute efforts to secure support from the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazagam (AMMK), and an IUML legislator, Vijay reportedly managed support from only 116 MLAs, falling short by two members.
Sources said Vijay failed to submit letters of support from the VCK and the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML).
Later, the IUML issued a statement clarifying that it was not part of the TVK-led alliance.
Meanwhile, AMMK leader T.T.V. Dhinakaran is also said to have informed the Governor that his party would support the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) instead.
Earlier in the evening, Vijay had met Governor Arlekar and staked claim to form the government, stating that he enjoyed the support of 118 MLAs.
