CPI warns of stir

IMPHAL, Apr 3: CPI Manipur State Council has warned of strong and sustained mass agitation if the Government opts to carry out census operations without first identifying and deporting illegal immigrants from the State.
Speaking to media persons at Irabot Bhavan, BT Road here today, CPI Manipur State Council convenor RK Amusana asserted that the Central Government and the State Government must first identify and deport illegal immigrants from the State before going ahead with the scheduled census operations.
He said that CPI Manipur State Council held a meeting and adopted three resolutions in connection with the issue of census operations.
The three resolutions adopted by the party are––carry out census operations after identifying illegal immigrants; convene a special Assembly session and adopt a resolution to identify illegal immigrants; and uphold law and order and protect Manipur, he said.
Amusana said that Manipur has been facing a demographic crisis following incessant influx of immigrants.
There were a large number of militants among these hordes of illegal immigrants who came to Manipur and they launched a sustained aggression on May 3, 2023 and killed many innocent people, burnt down houses and displaced tens of thousands of people, he said.
Pointing out that both census operations as well as identification of illegal immigrants cannot be carried out properly if the State is not in a position to enforce law and order effectively, Amusana underscored the importance of enforcing law and order effectively throughout the State.
A special session of the Manipur Legislative Assembly should be convened at the earliest to discuss the pressing issues of illegal immigrants, law and order and safeguarding the integrity of Manipur, he said.
MLAs of both the ruling parties and the Opposition party must adopt a unanimous resolution on these issues.
The Government may also convene an all-party meeting to help chart out its course of action, he added.
