Imphal, July 30 2014:
The Janata Dal (United) today, demanded the release of 28 Ima Keithel vendors and student protesters of ILP.
Janata Dal State Unit president M Tombi in a press conference held at its party office in Babupara, said that the implementation of ILP in the State is the only possible way to save the aboriginals.
In response to the statement made by BJP State Unit's president Th Chaoba which questioned the utility of calling an all political party meet to discuss ILP, M Tombi said that ILP as a State issue ought to be discussed in political meetings.
Seeking reason for forwarding such statement, M Tombi inquired whether the party (BJP) will be able to solve the ILP issue by themselves.
The JD, she continued, supports the voices raised for the implementation of the ILP system.
Demanding the release of all the protestors, she added that ILP should be implemented in the interest of the public and also to save the aboriginals settlers.
The Aam Aadmi party State unit also expressed their support to implementation of the system.
Thoudam Manihar, AAP State unit's co-ordinator said that the State Government could easily implement ILPS if they wished.
