The Manipur Assembly sat on Tuesday for a Special Session but what was supposed to be held for a day was over in less than an hour – precisely 48 minutes – with all 10 Kuki MLAs missing.
It was the briefest session ever for the 60-member House.
The session began at 11 a.m. and ended at 11:48 a.m. with a 30-minute adjournment in between, incensing the Congress legislators who demanded a five-day session to discuss the ongoing ethnic violence that has claimed more than 160 lives since May 3.
