Imphal, December 21 2011:
Supporting the agitation launched by Federation of Regional Indigenous Societies (FREINDS) for the re-imposition of Inner Line Permit (ILP) in the state, sit-in-protest was staged in various parts of the state today.
The sit-in-protest was staged at Keishamthong Elangbam Leikai, Wahengbam Leikai Community Hall, Yaiskul, Chingakham Tomal Leirak, Chingamakha, Wabgai Keirak and Langol.
Speaking to reporters at the sit-in-protest organized at keishamthong Elangbam Leikai, ex-MLA Laishom Ibomcha said that ever since the ILP system was removed from the state, the population of outsiders has been increasing.
The Manipuris of Manipur in the near future will be outnumbered by the outsiders just as happened with the Tripuris in Tripura.
