Imphal, July 11 2015 :
Manipur Trinamool MLA Dr I Ibohalbi said five Opposition MLAs, including himself, staged walk out from the State Assembly held in March this year protesting against the Manipur Regulation of Visitors, Tenants and Migrant Workers Bill 2015 (MRVT & MW Bill) .
Addressing media persons at his official quarters in Babupara, Dr Ibohalbi remarked, "The MRVT & MW Bill 2015 which was tabled and later passed in the House did not live upto the people's expectations and hence we staged walk out during the Assembly" .
The call for the Opposition bench for referring the bill to the Select Committee for insertion of certain essential points to the content was rejected in the House, Dr Ibohalbi said.
He further stated the demand for Inner Line Permit System (ILPS) strongly raised by the Joint Committee on Inner Line Permit System (JCILPS) is intended for the good of the people of Manipur.
He said, "I think now it has become an inescapable task of the Government to introduce a new ILP bill at the earliest" .
