How morals of tales shift

Understandably, many postcolonial nations are uneasy, if not apprehensive of the idea of federalism. Nonetheless, it is also a fact that given the diversity of their demography and geography, when they freed themselves from the yoke of colonialism, they were left with little choice than to embrace much of the governance model of the colonies […]

JCILPS called state wide 18 hrs general strike from midnight tonight

IMPHAL, March 15: Condemning the draft Bill for the safeguard indigenous people of the State to be tentatively passed tomorrow during the Assembly session, members of JCILPS called an 18-hours

IMPHAL, March 15: Condemning the draft Bill for the safeguard indigenous people of the State to be tentatively passed tomorrow during the Assembly session, members of JCILPS called an 18-hours general strike starting midnight tonight. The general strike will end at 6 pm will tomorrow but ongoing school examinations, press and medical emergencies would be exempted from the purview of the strike.

Convenor Joint Committee on Inner Line Permit System Ibotombi Khuman in a press meet held at its office, Nongmeibung said that the committee with the support from the general public have been demanding the implementation of a permit system for migrants so as to safeguard indigenous people of the State. He continued that the State Government had agreed to pass an Act with suggestions from an expert committee.

He mentioned that current Assembly session was extended to pass the Bill but unfortunately the Draft Bill stated nothing pertaining to safeguarding citizen of the State and instead seems aimed at safeguarding migrants.

The Draft Bill is strongly condemnable said Ibotombi and added that if tomorrow the Assembly Session fails to discuss the Bill inculcating their five charters of demand then it will be better for the Assembly to withdraw the Bill.

The five charters of demand for inclusion in the Bill, include the issue of a pass or permit which is compulsory for all non indigenous people who comes to Manipur to hold; to mark 1951 as the cut-off base year to decide who is an migrant; no land ownership right to be given to any non indigenous people; installation of a full fledged labour department for proper registration of migrant labour; and lastly detection of non indigenous people without proper identity cards and to deport them.

The convenor further said that the draft Bill has included only one of their demands, namely the registration of migrant labourers at the labour department.

He elaborated that if the Assembly passed the draft Bill then it will surely promote demographic imbalance in the State. He mentioned that the State Government`™s attitude towards the popular sentiment in matters of safeguarding indigenous people of the State has left the the committee`™s recommendation meaningless.

The JCILPS convenor said that there is still time for the state Government to rectify the bill in the discussion hour of the session else the JCILPS with the support of the public will demonstrate stronger form of agitations.

We can even sacrifice our lives for the safeguard of indigenous people of the State said convenor JCILPS women wing L Nganbi supplementing in the press meet.

She further said that there is doubt that the draft bill was not framed by fellow leaders of the State but by some non indigenous people for the benefit for migrants and non locals of the state.

Later the draft Bill was set ablaze in front of JCILPS office at Nongmeibung in front of media fraternity.

IMPHAL, August 24: Till the Inner Line Permit System or a similar system in implemented in the State, the JCILPS will continue with its movement, said chairman Ibotombi Khuman.

Speaking to media persons at their Nongmeibung office, he said the JCILPS will go on a house to house campaign to check for migrants without proper identity paper works.

He said many of the non-locals coming into the State could be criminal minded and could harm the peace and harmony in the State.

Migrants without proper and valid ID proofs will not be spared and politicians using them as vote banks will also checked, he said.

Lamenting the arrest of JCILPS executive member advocate Arjun, he appealed to the government for his unconditional release.

A Foreigners’ Tribunal has been enacted in Assam to check illegal migrants, and the same is called for in the State, he said.

The proposal to check house to house for migrants without valid papers is supported by the JCILPS women wing said convenor L Nganbi.

The process is already in progress in Paona Bazaar area, she said while decrying the intrusion of male vendors in the historical Ima Keithels.

Student wing convernor of JCILPS, Agnamba said deputy Chief Minister Gaikhangam’s claim of supporting the ILPS demand in his speeches are lies.

Speaking at a public meeting held at Khagempali Hudirom Leikail, president of United Mothers’ organisation, Sarojini opined that the public are not satisfied with their representatives.

Despite the fact that the population of non-locals is gradually dominating both hills and valley, the State has remained divided when it comes to the issue.

Even as the representative of the State promised to fulfil the demand of the public for the implementation of the ILP before the election, there has been no such action, she continued.

She further said that arresting of women protestors will not bring any solution rather it will provoke the sentiments of the people.

At the same time, every locality must take initiative in verifying the nonlocals, she added.
