Manipur Government on Thursday decided to urge the Centre to give assent to the Manipur People’s (Protection) Bill 2018 and keep Manipur out of the purview of the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016.
Notably, the Manipur People’s (Protection) Bill 2018 was passed in the State Assembly on July 23, 2018, to regulate entry and exit of non-Manipuris from outside the State.
A decision to this effect was taken at a Cabinet meeting on Thursday which was chaired by Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh.
