Imphal, September 14 2013 :
Joint Committee on Inner Line Permit System (JCILPS) and Manipur People's party have condemned yesterday's bomb attack that took place at Khuyathong, in which 9 construction workers from Assam were killed while 11 other people were wounded.
In a statement, JCILPS expressed apprehension over possible involving hands of some agents which are opposed to implementation of ILP in the State in the blast to divert the attention of the people to the ongoing movement for implementation of the restrictive regime, and said such attacking on non-locals at this juncture is unfortunate and condemnable.
It further clarified that the present ILP movement is to allow settlement of migrant workers in the state with rightful dignity and protection of the identity of indigenous people and not to suppress and commit any act of violence against the migrant workers.
While condemning the incident, Manipur People's Party (MPP) has urged the state government to look into the matter and take serious steps instead of the standard form of condemning it as an act of terrorism.
