Imphal, August 9: As part of the International Day of the World’s Indigenous People observance, Joint Committee on Inner Line Permit System (JCILPS) today organised International Day of the World’s Indigenous People at Keishampat Lairembi Community Hall. Taking part in the observance, Leaders of JCILPS, members of various civil society organisations and representatives of human rights organisations spoke on the occasion. Speakers on the occasion maintain that the non indigenous people coming from the other states have cause discomfort to the indigenous people of the state. It is time to carry out a movement rather than claiming that we are the indigenous people and have been the residence of the state and place since time immemorial, the speakers maintain. Many students and public also took part in the occasion. The International Day of the World’s Indigenous People is observed every year on August 9 in order to promote and protect the right of the worlds indigenous population. The event also recognises the achievement and contribution made by the indigenous people to improve world issues. In December 1994, General Assembly of United Nation first pronounced the International Day of the World’s Indigenous People.
