Plenty of debates had been generated and are still being generated on the explosive issue of preserving the indigenous face of Manipur, especially after the death of a young school

Plenty of debates had been generated and are still being generated on the explosive issue of preserving the indigenous face of Manipur, especially after the death of a young school boy, Sapam Robinhood, 16. Although initially there were little coming out from mainstream media in the metropolises, now that a denouement is seemingly approaching on the issue of introduction of the ILP, there are indeed stories appearing in the national media, print as well as the TV. It is also encouraging that they have been by and large positive, endorsing the view that while the methods of protest may be questionable the reason for them is not illegitimate. The Inner Line Permit System now being sought in Manipur is an expression of the legitimate existential angst of a small community that it may become drowned in the ocean of the infinitely larger community of continental India. As an article in the Mumbai based Daily News and Analysis, DNA India, today put it, this angst was officially made known by the Nagas as early as 1929, when the then Naga Club presented a memorandum to the Simon Commission, when it came visiting the Naga Hills.

The ILPS is perceived as a means of regulating inflow of migrants, therefore a check on the threat of any radical transformation of demography of the state. While the anxiety is legitimate, it is debatable if the ILP as an instrument which can adequately address this anxiety, for Nagaland which has the ILP is still faced with the same threat of settlers outnumbering the original population, even more than Manipur. But the good thing is, Manipur can fashion its regulatory mechanism modelled on the ILP but it does not have to be the ILP as it exists today, and we do hope those who will now be responsible for the new Bill will be up to the job. They must also take care that the purpose is achieved effectively, but we must reiterate, without unduly victimising any other group. As we see it, ensuring land ownership transfers to non domiciles are next to impossible should serve the purpose to most great extents. This is already the case in the hill districts, and as we are witnessing during the past week of violent agitations, the ILP issue is not taken as so urgent by the hills as it is by the valley, though by and large the concerns for an impending demographic transformations marginalising the local populations, is shared.

There has hardly been anybody in Manipur who rejects totally the need for a migration regulation. Few who did were only recommending variants of the screening mechanism though there was at least one writer who throwing below-the-belt blows to discredit the agitation. In an article in the web magazine, Scroll.in, he so cheaply and communally portrayed the movement as a strategy of the valley Meiteis community in their bid to be included in the Schedule Tribe list so that they may continue have their stranglehold on the state`™s power structure. Although the arguments were puerile and therefore far from coherent or convincing, it is shocking that such venoms also exist. But to make the best of what a grotesque and hideous mind has to say, let the valley begin thinking in terms of seeking consensus first before presuming all its issues by definition are Manipur`™s issues. Even if there is little to doubt that all in the state, and indeed the whole of the Northeast, share the concerns on any issue, let no section of the population, even the smallest, be taken for granted, and assent of each be sought before the issue is billed as `Manipur issue`. This is the democratic way. This is also the only way to bridge the ethnic divides in Manipur.

One more inadequacy came out glaring. From the beginning of the stir, and even after the death of a school boy, one complaint reverberated `“ the national media had no interest in Manipur. But to be fair, maybe they were simply clueless on what or why things were unfolding the way they were. The fault it not just theirs. It is also majorly with the state`™s own intelligentsia, the articulate section of the society, including the media and academics. The state`™s Diaspora is widely spread across the length and breadth of India, and many of them are in the business of idea and knowledge `“ academia. At times like this, it is their moral responsibility to speak up and communicate, not just on the social media, important though it may be, but also the mainstream media for the audience here is much wider. Moreover, what goes on the social media is not peer reviewed therefore still less credible than the media where articles are screened for quality and authenticity by professional editors. Some of us in the local media did do something in the regard, but the voice must be from many, to be heard loudly and convincingly. What is often said of the food chain in the natural world, `eat or be eaten` is also very true of the world of ideas and communication `“ `write or be written about`, or worse still, `write or be written off`.

Kwatha villagers lament govt apathy towards village

IMPHAL July 15: The Kwatha Junior High School in Kwatha VIllage, Tengnoupal did not open for a single class last year and remains acutely defunct this year too, with just

IMPHAL July 15: The Kwatha Junior High School in Kwatha VIllage, Tengnoupal did not open for a single class last year and remains acutely defunct this year too, with just two teachers available in the school, a member of the Kwatha Village Authority told media persons today.

Kwatha Village Authority, meira paibis and the local youth club called a joint press conference today at the Manipur Press Club decrying the negligence of the Education department towards the school.

Speaking to media persons, spokesperson Kshetrimayum Yaima said the village has more than 65 children and one third of them have been put at Imphal, Moreh, Pallel and Kakching for schooling due to the apathy of the Education department to ensure Right to Education in the village for primary students.

He said three teachers are posted at the junior high school, but one of them has remained absent on a permanent basis.

The classrooms of the school have no partitions and there are no other facilities available, yet the concern Education department has failed to monitor the attendance of the teachers or the state of the school till date, he lamented.

Yaima lamented the total apathy of the present government to the issues confronting the school.

During the last election campaign in the village, deputy Chief Minister Gaikhangam had told the village that `development of State can happen only when the remote peripheries like your village are equally developed,` he said.

However, this statement of the deputy CM has not been turned into action, he lamented.

He said, only two nurses man the local Primary Health Centre without any doctor or caretakers present. This has caused deaths during numerous delivery cases, he continued.

Yaima also continued that the fortnightly rotational visit of the doctors have also stopped for more than two months.

The only seven km road stretch connecting the village to the Asian Highway 1 remains neglected by the government and its PWD for several years, he continued.

`When the Works minister visited us, we were elated with hope however there was no attention given to this lifeline of the surrounding villages`™ he lamented.

The villagers have been collectively maintaining the road clearing monsoon landslides, log blocks, he said.

Yaima also said that they had never allowed money to influence them during the election and had always voted honestly, however, MLA Korungthang has not only abstained from visiting us but have denied an audience even when we come to visit him in Imphal.

No PDS items have ever reach the village during the last more than three years, he continued.

As for the ICDS provisions, Yaima said the villagers have to themselves bear the transport expenditures.

The unskilled villagers have to act as electric linesmen as there is no other choice, he continued.

Customs, Police, Forest and CID collects tax from us for our vegetable products yet we have no choice, he said.

While we are the real ones safeguarding the territorial integrity of the State, our plight remains unattended by the government, said K Yaima.

JCILPS rejects CM`s invitation for talks; says cannot accept three-month timeline for new bill

IMPHAL, July 15: The JCILPS cannot accept the resolution of the House to withdraw the Manipur Regulation of Visitors, Tenants and Migrant Workers Bill, 2015 and to bring out a

IMPHAL, July 15: The JCILPS cannot accept the resolution of the House to withdraw the Manipur Regulation of Visitors, Tenants and Migrant Workers Bill, 2015 and to bring out a new Bill within three months taken during today`™s emergency sitting of the House and as such turn down the invitation for a meeting from the State Chief Minister, informed a statement of the joint committee.

The statement signed by its assistant media co-ordinator Md. Kheiruddin Shah Moijingmayum said the Joint Committee on Inner Line Permit System didn`™t send any representative for the meeting with the Chief Minister and instead submitted a written statement clarifying on the reasons for turning down the invitation.

Elaborating on the highlights of the written reply submitted to the Chief Minister, the statement from the JCILPS said the committee cannot accept the resolutions to withdraw the infamous bill and the three months time set by the House to draft a new bill.

In its reply, the committee has also informed the government that the House should not only withdraw the bill but should also bring out the new bill to protect the indigenous population and pass it within 15 days and for which, the Assembly Secretariat should issue a notification before 4pm of July 16..

The reply also informed the government that in case the Assembly Secretariat fails to issue the formal notification by the set deadline, the committee will launch stronger forms of protest, the statement said.

The committee has also included that it will not hold talks with the State government until and unless befitting punishment are awarded to the police personnel involved in the death of Sapam Robinhood and those who injured several protestors during the peoples`™ movement demanding withdrawal of the MSVT&MW Bill, it said.

The JCILPS`™ demand is full-implementation of the ILPS in the State and the three months time announced by the House for preparing the bill is not reasonable, it said.

It said the preparation for the draft of the much resented previous bill which was presented to the joint committee did not take more than a week.

The statement further elaborated since a bill has already been passed, it wouldn`™t take much time to bring out a bill by making some modifications and adjustments to please the public.

It said considering the present steps taken up by the State government, it is hard to believe that the government will bring out and pass a new bill according to the wishes of the people.

The committee further appeals to the people to continue staging democratic forms of agitations and demonstrations against the government.

Press release

Ref.No.:MSADPR20150711                                                                Date: 11/7/2015

 

A  Public meeting was held against the demographic invasion by the state policies and state atrocities on July 14, 2015 at Delhi University Garden. The meeting was organized by Manipur Students’ Association Delhi and took these resolutions.

1)      Issuance of passes/permits to outsiders/Non Manipuries –(Manipuries are those people/communities who have been recognized by the state government )

(a)    Passes would be with limited validity

2)      Not to allow permanent settlement to non -Manipuries in Manipur.

(a)    Multinational companies and state cannot buy / give (i) Individual and Community owned land.

3) Marking 1951 as the base year to differentiate between migrants/Non Manipuries from Manipuries,/People of Manipur .

4) Denying land holding rights to outsiders/ Non Manipuris,

5) Setting up of a full-fledged Labour Department to regulate entry of inter-State migrants and commencement of detection of migrants/outsiders.

(a) There should be a monitoring committee from civil society organizations from the state to check the functioning of the committee/department appointed by the government that SSC should be acknowledged by the Government.

6)In keeping with the historicity and contemporary needs of Manipur as a geo-political entity whose existence, as the first Schedule of the Indian Constitution acknowledges, precedes the adoption of the Constitution of India, all necessary constitutional and administrative steps must be taken to protect and preserve the Manipur State and her indigenous people.

(a)Indian constitution should be amended to implement the ILP/MSPC (Manipur State Permit System)

7) Either the Government of Manipur or the Union Government of India should not enact any legislation or administrative step that go against the spirit and letter of above basic demands.

The meeting strongly endorsed to adopt these approaches to be adopted by the people who are part of the ongoing movement for Manipur State Permit System/ Inner Line Permit System

  1. a) An open dialogue for all the communities of Manipur would be held in the ongoing movement.
  2. b) Political class and political consciousness program would be held for the mass awareness
  3. c) Inter- communities dialogue within the communities of Manipur would be held as part of the ongoing struggle for demanding ILP/MSP( Manipur State Permit)
  4. d) Any anti – non Manipuri / communal discourses would not be inserted in the process of mobilization.
  5. e) Demographic invasion is rooted in state policies. Demographic invasion is systematically done by the state policies and the target of the movement would be against the state and its policies not against non Manipuries/ migrants who have come for their livelihood.

Resolution on State repression

1)      Justice should be delivered to Sapam Robinhood and all the injured persons under state atrocities during the movement

2)      Government impose curfew should be lifted and normal life should be restored immediately

3)      The state should not curtail the democratic rights of the students to take part of the people’s movement.

4)      Students have every right to participate in the people’s movement.

5)      State should restore normal class from imposed curfew in the educational institutions.

6)      A proposed draft would be prepared to safeguard the indigenous people of Manipur and that will be sent to JCILPS.
