Imphal, April 03 2024:
Will vote for the political party and candidate who promises National Register of Citizens (NRC), said People's Alliance for Peace and Progress, Manipur (PAPPM).
In a statement released to the media today, PAPPM said the implementation of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) is indispensable for identification and deportation of all illegal immigrants from Manipur.
The present violent conflict raised by armed Kukis against Meiteis is connected to the influx of illegal immigrants.
Therefore, NRC is a must, it said.
While there has been influx of illegal immigrants since 1980, the present conflict was triggered by measures taken up to identify the immigrants, it added.
NRC is the only agenda that matters.
This will save the future generations of Manipur, and therefore, PAPPM will support the candidate who promises NRC, it said.
PAPPM, on the other hand, accused Congress of bringing in immigrants and said "voting for Congress is like voting for Kukis and giving nod to demand for separate administration" .
