“ Keeping the Manipur Peoples’ Bill’ which was passed by the Manipur State Assembly in July 23, 2018 without giving assent by the President of India even as it is now a year is a clear indication of the Central government towards the sentiment of the people of the state”, Dhiren said.

He also stated that until the Manipur Peoples’ Bill is converted into Act, the JCILPS will form ‘task force’ and will check influx of migrants without proper document at both the National Highways and start checking the influx of migrants after taking help from the state police.
YK Dhiren also appealed the Government of Manipur to act as per the sentiment of the people by exercising their political commitment. He was referring to the promises made by the Chief Minister for introduction of the NRC, commissioning of a population commission etc.
