The Manipur Congress has filed a disqualification petition in the state assembly Speaker’s Tribunal against 5-Janata Dal (United) or JD (U) MLAs who had jumped ship to the BJP a month ago.
Manipur Congress vice-president Hareshwar Goswami filed the disqualification petitions against the 5 MLAs.

The JD(U) had won six seats in the 60-member Manipur Assembly earlier this year and extended their support to the BJP government headed by Chief Minister Nongthombam Biren Singh.
The 6th JD(U) MLA who did not join the BJP is Mohammed Nasir, who was elected from the Lilong constituency.
