Imphal, July 09 2015 :
It has become increasingly clear that three befuddled bureaucrats had manipulated the Manipur Regulation of Visitors, Tenants and Migrants Bill 2015 fully knowing that the governor shall never give his assent.
Laisom Ibomcha, the NCP MLA says that he knows the identity of the three officials and their role in the new draft.
Now R.K.Sivachandra, the BJP spkesperson says that the Bill that was passed in the Assembly in the last session is not the one approved by all political parties.
He feels that instead of the students the elected members should come out in protest since this is not the one which was approved by the political leaders.
As the leader of the House the chief minister owes an explanation as to why and how three officials were given a free hand to doctor the Bill without the knowledge of the political parties.
Secondly all sections of people are not happy with the present form of the Bill since it is contended that it is basically meant for the protection of the migrants.
Now that even ruling members have started voicing their dissatisfaction with the entire issue there is now very little option for the government.
