Manipur Inner Line Permit Guidelines 2019 asi khara kupna neinaduna yengbada yelhoumee kanbagi demand asidagi onna teinaba wafam kaya yaore. Wafamsing asi makhada thamjari.

(1) Definition Exemption: Manipur gi yelhoumee kan-ge hairabadi, yelhoumee kanano haiba asi masak takpa definition mathou tai. Manipur gi permanent resident kanano haiba asisu masak takpa definition mathou tai. Yelhoumee amasung permanent resident masak takpa haibasida konna changsillakpa meetopsing masak khngnanaba base year ama leigadabani.

Permanent resident haibasi government na issue touba certificate ama pairaga hektamak oiba yabagi wafamla? Yelhoumee natraga permanent resident masak khngdokpagi base year ama leifam thokpani.

Base year asi meeyamgi apamba 1951 na oigadouribara, 1971 na oigadouribara natraga karamba chahi na oigadouribano? Definition pidaba amasung definition ga sagonnagadaba base year ama yaodaba asina Guidelines asida yumfam oiraga ILP card paihan-gadaba meeoi asi kanona haiba chamamnahalli. ILP card pairaga Manipur da changlakpa meeoi amasu permanent card ama tanthoklagadi makha tana ILP card paidrabasu leihanba yabagi fivam ama oihalli.

(2) Ownership: Yelhoumee kanba haiba asida lam, buildings, immovable properties, natural resources, market asinachingba asi yelhoumeesingna mapu oijaba haibasi tangai fade. Potlamsing asi meetopna mapu oiba yaroi haiba wafam Guidelines asida yaode. 1873 gi principle Act ta lam gi wafam asi pallabasu, Guidelines asida wafamsing asi pandabasi thouoina touba malli amasing meetop singda mapu oihanbagi ayaba pithokpagumna touee.

Special Category Permit paiba—inak khunba, politically influence touba ngamba, khutkan panggalba—eikhoigi economy da lannaigi interest leiba meeoisingna Manipur suppai paisinhankhiba yabagi khudong chaba lei. Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation, 1873 gi principle asi ngakna chatpa oina Manipur yelhoumee gi interest yenglaga clause ama hapchin-gadabani.

Asumna hapchinba yai, “It shall not be lawful for any non-indigenous person or companies or firms or enterprises or banks or finance institutions owned by outsiders, to acquire any interest in land, buildings or immovable properties, the product of land beyond, and voting rights within the “inner line” of Manipur without the sanction of the Government of Manipur, who in turn can sanction such a permission only after fulfilling due process of law which shall be preceded by the free prior informed consent of the indigenous people.”

(3) Voting rights: Meetopsingna lam, buildings, immovable properties, natural resources, amasung market asinachingbagi mapu oiba yaroi haiba athingba ama thamlabasu; meetopna na leibakki political firep amasung administration da khut thingjinba ngamlabadi makhoigi pressuredagi ngakthokpa wai. Meetopna political domination tourakpadagi ngakthokke hairabadi makhoida voting rights fanghandanaba athingba thamgadabani.

Meetopsingda voting rights pikhrabadi, ahanba phase ta meetopsing asi vote bank oina local electoral politics ta sijinnarakkani. Masina maram oiraga meetopsinggi political rights amasung power henna mara chetsin-gani. Anisuba phase ta meetopna meekok masing ka henna hen-gatlaklaba matungda, maduga makhoigi political amasung economic power ga totsinnaraga ahenba thakta monopoly tourakpa ngammi.

Ngasi Manipur gi mafam kayada meetopsingna khunda leitasinduna electoral politics ta yaosinduna leibakki administration da khut thingjinba ngamliba asi voting rights fangkhibadagini.

(4) Exemption Illegal immigrants: ILP Guidelines clause 16 matung inna “these regulations and Guidelines shall not apply to foreigners who shall be regulated and governed by… the Passport (Entry into India) Rules, 1950 and subsequent amendments.” Wafam asi taraina louba yaroidaba maram lei.

(5) Exemption Non-Manipuri: ILP Guidelines Clause 8 ta “category of persons exempted from Inner Line Permit” haina list ama thamli. Matang asida hangba yaba wahang ama thokli. Manipur gi unique history, identity amasung sentiment asibu eekai khumnaba ootpiba oina hairiba meeoising asina ILP card tanthokpiraga natragana mari leinaba authority na makhoida ILP card paihanbiraga Manipur da changlakpada kari karamba potlum oibage?

Masigumba good gesture asi Manipur gi Governor dagi chingna makha taba officials amsung meetopsingna Manipur da changlakpa matamda ootpibada kayam kaibage?

Maramdi peace haiba asi yelhoumeesingbu meetop ki safudagi ningthina ngak senbiduna chaokhatpa tangdu leitaba khunnai ama oihallakpa, amasung masi fangnaba afaba leingak (good governance) na hotnaba matamda oigani.

Mamingtagi oina ILP Guidelines semlaga, manung hotrong hobana maram oiduna yelhoumeegi interest ngakpagi onna teinaba fivam ama oihallakpa haibasi peace and good governance oiroi.

Anisubada, ILP Guideline asina Government of India amasung Ningthou Bodhachandra anigi marakta eenakhiba Merger Agreement 1949 gi onna teinaba oire.

Agreement ki Article VIII da asumna eeri, “They [the Government of India] also undertake to preserve various laws, customs and conventions prevailing in the State pertaining to the social, economic and religious life of the people.”

Social and economic life fivam haiba asiga polity ga sagonnana chatli. Religious life haiba asida meekok amasung lainingga sagonnaba value system amasung culture yaoee. Masi loinamak mari leinei. Masi khudingmak asi yokkhatpa haibasi meetopki safudagi ngakthoklaba matamda khakta oigani.

Adubu Government of Manipur na mating fongdokpa ngamdaba wafamsing adudi leibak meeyamda sinnathokpiyu.
