Imphal, July 03 2013: "Politicians in Manipur are just there to maintain roads and bridges in the state but they have failed to protect human values," said retired Judge C Upendra.

He was speaking as a chief guest at the 13th Foundation Day of United Committee, Manipur (UCM) .

C Upendra said that Ministers and MLAs are not interested in protecting the 'human values'.

If the Manipur legislators are genuinely interested to have Inner Line Permit system in Manipur then they could have done it long ago.

According to the retired judge, under Article 19(5) the state government has the authority to take its own decision on the matter.

"In spite of the Central government's permission allowing NSCN-IM leader Th Muivah to visit his home village Somdal in Ukhrul district, Chief Minister O Ibobi defied the Centre's directive and took his own decision to bar the NSCN-IM leader from entering Manipur.

Likewise, the Chief Minister or the State Government could have done the same thing with the Inner Line Permit issue," stated Upendra.

On the Manipur integrity issue, C Upendra said that the issue is getting more and more under threat as the Chief Minister is getting more and more vocal on the issue.

The UCM was formed by various civil organisations in Manipur valley in the height of the anti-ceasefire extension agitation between the NSCN-IM and the Government of India in 2001 .
