Story of ILP (INNER LINE PERMIT)

ILP (Inner Line Permit),starts from 1873 when India was under the controlled of British rule that time manipur was not part of india.1873 act passed by British govt. is known as bengal eastern frontier regulation act( BEFRA )through which ILP system was introduced for some part of north-East which presently constitutes 3 states of india Mizoram, Nagalandand  Arunachal Pradesh all are from er part of British Indian. ILP is an official travelled document issued by competent another of the govt. to permit inward travel of Indian citizen into protected area if he/she is not the native of that protected area. This act was enacted with the extinction to protect the cultural identity and demographic composition of the protected area through regularly the entry of outsider. The people of manipur are of view that the situation in manipur is almost same with that of Mizoram, Nagaland and  Arunachal Pradesh. Thus ILP should be extended in the state of manipur. One thing we need to remember is that as a whole manipur is general category state but above 3 states are schedule tribe state. If ILP is introduced in manipur appears to be violative of Articles 14 and 19 of fundamental rights .and manipur as a whole to be a schedule tribe state it will be easier for enacting ILP .so ILP before enacting in manipur this bill should introduced in union parliament it need to pass in both the house of parliament with special majority and president of India assent then bill came into act. This bill is passed in manipur legislative assembly it need the assent of governor but governor is under the control of president of India. So it is better to introduce this bill in union parliament .suppose this bill is pass in manipur legislative assembly but governor did not gave assent bill is meaningless. And union parliament also have rights on this bill so my suggestion is that as soon as possible manipur as a whole converted into a schedule tribe state then automatically this 1873 act of Eastern Bengal Frontier Regulation Act extended into Manipur.
