Imphal, November 28 2019:
Lok Sabha MP Dr RK Ranjan today urged the Lok Sabha to incorporate a special provision in the Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) so as to keep Manipur out of its ambit.
Notably CAB has been already included in the business list of the ongoing winter session of Parliament.
Quoting media reports that a special clause would be inserted in the CAB for the North East States where Inner Line Permit System is in force so that these State are not affected by CAB, Dr RK Ranjan pointed out that people of North East States where ILPS is not enforced are deeply worried that CAB would have adverse impacts on these States.
He then urged the Central Government to insert a special provision in the CAB so that the North Eastern States particularly Manipur is not affected when the
Bill is passed.
