Chief Minister of Manipur while speaking on the matter said that his government is all set to introduce the Inner Line Permit System under the Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation here in the state of Manipur and for that he will be holding a final sitting with his cabinet and other related officers tomorrow.

Regarding the CAA, the Chief Minister said, "What is the need for discussing CAA for the state of Manipur? We are working hard for the formal implementation of ILP" .

He however said that the people of India should be the one that decide on who should be allowed to enter the country.

Will the decision on whom to allow be given to Pakistan, USA or any other country? The Chief Minister questioned justifying the BJP led government stand on CAA.

"We should appreciate the visionary leaders of the BJP - PM Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath and Tourism Minister Ram Madhav, for giving us hope for protecting the state and its integrity", Biren said adding that in his life he had never come across any leader who are so concerned about the state of Manipur other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.

Pointing figure to those who are against in the state of Manipur, the Chief Minister asked, "Do they know what CAA is? Let's debate? I will surrender if the act violates the Article 14 because Article 14 says equal treatment to all religions.

Is there anything that says that some persons belonging to specific religion will be driven out? There are some leftist people in Manipur too who speak anything they like to create chaos in the state" .

"It is only the PM Narendra Modi and HM Amit Shah that can assure the integrity of Manipur", Biren said.

Taking a dig to the Congress party Biren called on the people to recall on the condition of the state three years from now.

Many had been killed in fake encounter, people cannot come out from home during night, he added.

PWD Minister Th.Bishwajit while speaking on the occasion said that people should know that which political party had ruined the state of Manipur.
