Imphal, May 5: Expressing strong reservation against the inaction of state government and All Political Party Committee on ILPS, the Students Wing of Joint Committee on Inner Line Permit System (JCILPS) has served three days ultimatum to political parties to publicly announce their stand on the ongoing demand for Inner Line Permit System in Manipur.
Nandababu, Convenor of JCILPS Students Wing, in a press conference held at its Keishampat office, said all the political parties both national and regional parties in the state should make people know their stand on ILPS within May 8, 2016. The JCILPS will take those political parties that do not make clear of their stand as anti-people.
He also condemned the state legislatures for not speaking out over the demand of the mass to protect the indigenous people, and Nandababu enquired about the reason of their silence over the three ILPS Bills passed by the Manipur Legislative Assembly on August 31, 2015.
The Convenor also stated that the JCILPS has called state wide public curfew from the midnight of May 5 to 6pm of May 7 in protest against the state government for not converting the 3 points of agreements- establishment of Population Commission; Land Reform Commission, and detection as well as deportation work of non-locals from the state- into actions.
The state government has the power to establish the commissions and start the detection and deportation of non-locals from the state. However, it has failed to materialise the point of agreements till date, Nandababu said.
He also announced that JCILPS would not allowed non-locals to contest and cast vote in the upcoming Imphal Municipal Corporation election.
Meanwhile, JCILPS Students Wing Thoubal District has organised protest demonstration at Thoubal and Yairipok area. During the protest students of schools under Thoubal and Yairipok have blocked roads demanding to pass the three bills as soon as possible and implement ILPS in Manipur.
