The Government is leaving no stone unturned to draft a Bill which is acceptable to the people.
He disclosed that on July 25, the committee members shall meet representatives of the High Court Bar Association and the All Manipur Bar Association.
Though the time-frame for the introduction of the Bill is one month, the committee is exploring the possibility of shortening it.
With this objective in view, the committee shall have daily sittings.
The Bill should be drafted within the framework of the Constitution so that the President and the Governor will give their assents.
The Constitution allows the citizens to go anywhere and settle in any part of the country.
However, the Government will consult the legal experts so that the indigenous people could be safeguarded.
He said that while cooperation of JCILPS is a must, scholars and experts should contribute their mites to expedite the drafting of the Bill.
The drafting committee members shall be going many places during the period to consult experts.
The other committee members are Ng Bijoy, N Biren, RK Anand and M Yaiskul Meitei.
