Maoist Communist Party, Manipur (MCPM) today said that the government is engineering a communal enmity among various community of the state to divert the peoples’ agitation for implementation of Inner Line Permit System. In a statement signed by Comrade Nonglen Meitei, Secretary Publicity and Propaganda, MCPM, the outfit said that earlier the government authority had planed bomb blast among civilian to divert the issue for demand of Inner Line Permit System several times but as the people now know such tactics the authority is changing its strategy by inciting hate feeling among the various ethnic community of the state. The statement also warns other civil bodies or individuals who are sidelining the demands for Inner Line Permit System by putting up more complex issue like demand for pre-merger status or demand for conversion of the Meitei to Scheduled tribe. The statement said that there will be time to demand the pre-merger status as well as demand to live all the communities of the state into equal status but such additional input will only served as an opportunity for the government to delay in fulfilling the demand for implementation of Inner Line Permit System.
The MCPM further added that it is no time to give opportunity for delay in taking fulfilling the demands for ILP but it is time to intensify the peoples’ movement for introduction of Inner Line Permit System to safeguard the indigenous people of the state. The outfit also said that the recent incident that happen at Moreh and the strong opposition from some community to the demand from areas like Churachandpur are the creation of the Indian Government.
