Imphal, July 12 2012:
Stating that ILPS is necessary for safeguarding the identities of all the indigenous communities of Manipur, BJP State unit president Sh Shantikumar has endorsed the demand for enforcement of ILPS in Manipur.
BJP supports re-enforcement of the regulation which was earlier in force in the State.
Given the popular aspiration of the people to enforce the same regulation, there would be no harm in enforcing ILPS in Manipur.
Speaking to media persons at the BJP office today, Shantikumar said that any decision or Bill in favour of enforcing ILPS would serve the common aspiration of the people.
Taking serious note of the impacts of bandh being imposed along Imphal-Dimapur in Nagaland section because of number of Imphal bound loaded trucks and passenger vehicles remain stranded, the BJP president lambasted the Congress Government for its undue delay in resolving the issue.
He also appealed to all the MLAs to vote for BJP-backed presidential candidate PA Sangma irrespective of the parties to which the MLAs are affiliated.
