Imphal, June 18 2013:
The students' union of Naorem Birahari College, Khundrakpam has maintained that former pseudo-leaders of the State were responsible for lifting of Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation, 1873 (Inner Line Permit) from Manipur.
The permit system, which was in force during kings' time, had been removed by the then Commissioner Himmat Singh by issuing a simple notification on Nov 18, 1950 following a pre-planned revolt by some pseudo-leaders against continuation of Inner Line Permit system, a release from the Students' Union said.
Because of this mindless action of the then pseudo-leaders, the number of non-Manipuri people has been increased in the state, thus, posing a threat to the social, economic and cultural aspects of the native Manipuri people, the release said, while announcing the stand of the student body to extend every possible cooperation in the ongoing public demand for implementation of Inner Line Permit in Manipur once again.
