Advisor of Manipur Muslim Welfare Jackie Masood Maibam condemned the legislature who camped for many days at Delhi for their race of power but doesn't camp and stay to push the demand to give assent for bill to pass.

Government employees went on strike for many days for their demand implementation of 7th Pay Commission but were not interested in doing movement to save the indigenous people added Masood Maibam.

Clarifying the wrong notion in the minds of people he said that people charge Meetei Pangals for giving safe haven for Rohingya and Bangladesh Muslim.

He said that not a single Meetei Pangals will give shelter to any of the Rohingya or Bangladesh Muslim.

Reminding the tragic incident at which Robinhood lost his life, Co-convenor of JCILPS Jeetendra Ningombam said that on this day of 2015 Robinhood lost his life due to the police brutalities while staging protest demonstration for implementation of Inner Line Permit System.

At a time when people are demanding for implementation of ILPS in the state, the move of the Central government to pass contentious CAB should be opposed by the people.

Jeetendra continued that even if the President doesn't give assent to the Manipur People Bill, they will still continue to demand a Bill similar to ILPS to protect the indigenous people.
