Bengaluru: Members of Manipur Tribal Union in Bengaluru protested against the alleged discrimination on Manipur Tribals by Manipur government, at Freedom Park in Bengaluru on Friday.
The Manipur assembly unanimously passed three bills on Monday – Protection of Manipur People Bill; the Manipur Land Revenue and Land Reforms (7th amendment) Bill; and the Manipur Shops and Establishments (Second Amendment) Bill were passed – to regulate the influx of outsiders into the state.
They are in consonance with the raging demand for Inner Line Permits to regulate the entry of non-domicile citizens into the region. Those demanding the permits in Manipur want to restrict and regulate the influx of outsiders and internal migrants “to save the culture, tradition, identity and demographic structure of the indigenous people of the state”.
