The Joint Committee on Inner Line Permit System (JCILPS), Manipur
Hon’ble Sir,
Memorandum submitted by the Joint Committee on Inner Line Permit System
(JCILPS), Manipur on August 8, 2015 in the wake of prolonged public unrest and
inability of the Government of Manipur to come to an understanding on the demands
of the JCILPS and the public to introduce the Inner Line Permit (ILP) System or a
Similar Law to curb and regulate the uncontrolled influx of migrants into the State of
Manipur in order to restore the demographic balance of the pluralistic society,
respecting the diversity and integrity of the nation state of India, and to ameliorate
the livelihood conditions, life support systems of the indigenous peoples, heal the
social wounds created by the unfortunate development of communal and linguistic
animosities in socio-economic and political interactions thereby becoming an intense
threat to national security, and peaceful development of democratic processes
amidst the tensions of globalization and rapid expansion of global connectivity with
its concomitant challenges to ethnic societies in the State of Manipur.
The memorandum consists of three parts and a conclusive remark.
Part I lays out the reasons for submission of this memorandum on the need for introduction of the ILP System or a Similar Law in Manipur.
Part II deals with the objective historical narrative of the pre-merger polity, its policies on outsiders, its laws of integration of outside incoming elements into
the prevailing social structure and its policies for regulation and control of migrant population which can be considered in the preamble and background
history in the framing of an alternative law in lieu of the Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation, 1873. The arguments raised here could also be
considered for designing a fresh legislation to revive our permit system applied during the Maharajah’s rule which was also approved by the
Government of India in 1948, but unfortunately abolished under controversial circumstances in 1950.
Part III of the memorandum shall include the JCILPS’ justification of the compatibility with the Constitution of India and International Law of the 5-point-demand, namely :
(i) on issues of permit or pass,
(ii) on cut-off base year of non-indigenous persons,
(iii) on issues of non-alienation of land to non-indigenous persons,
(iv) on issues of expansion and smooth functioning of the labour department, and
(v) on detection and deportation of non-indigenous persons.
