Amid widespread criticism of the Narendra Modi-led central government for its perceived inaction during the ethnic unrest in Manipur, Chief Minister N Biren Singh expressed gratitude to the Centre for granting the Inner Line Permit (ILP) to the state in 2019.

Speaking on Monday, Singh described the ILP as one of the most significant measures taken for Manipur since it attained statehood in 1972.

While many political leaders, NGOs, and human rights groups have criticized the Centre’s handling of Manipur’s ongoing crisis, Singh lauded the Modi government, calling the ILP a step towards safeguarding the indigenous people of the state.

“The granting of ILP is a recognition of the struggles and sacrifices of the people of Manipur,” Singh said.

“Today, we are generating revenues of ₹13-14 crore from ILP permits. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic and the current crisis, this step has been a game-changer for the state.”

Manipur became the fourth state under the ILP regime in 2019, joining Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, and Mizoram.

Under this system, visitors from outside the state, including Indian citizens, must obtain permission to enter.

Singh highlighted that the implementation of ILP was a rare and crucial decision by the Centre.

“Despite our heavy dependence on the Centre for survival, the ILP was granted to us because of the uniqueness of Manipur and the Centre’s commitment to protecting it.

This is a rarity, and we must acknowledge the efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and others who paved the way for this initiative,” he said.

Reflecting on the long struggle for ILP, Singh recalled the sacrifices made during the movement, including the loss of lives and injuries sustained during police action.

He reiterated the importance of ILP in protecting the identity and safety of Manipur’s indigenous communities.

Singh also acknowledged that other states, including Meghalaya, have been demanding ILP but said that Manipur’s circumstances and unique identity warranted special consideration.

However, Singh admitted there were shortcomings in the ILP’s implementation.

“There has been a lack of sincerity among officials, whether intentional or not, in ensuring ILP compliance. This needs to be addressed,” he said.

The chief minister’s remarks come at a time when the state is grappling with ongoing turmoil and a lack of trust in the Centre’s response.

Critics have suggested that Singh’s praise for the ILP is an attempt to deflect public attention from the current crisis.

Nonetheless, Singh emphasized that the ILP remains a cornerstone in protecting Manipur’s heritage and future.
