SHILLONG: The Khasi Students’ Union (KSU) has made it clear that democratic movement will continue until and unless central government introduces Inner Line Permit (ILP) in the state.
Talking to media persons, KSU president, Lambok Marngar said that the Union expected the central government to listen to the voice of the people of Meghalaya since the state had faced several issues with regards to influx for years.
“This is the right time for the central government to reconsider the demand of Meghalaya and implement ILP in our state,” he said.
Informing that the Union would continue its awareness programmes against Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), he reiterated that the union cannot accept CAA as it would bring more influx into the state.
As the North Eastern Students’ Organisation (NESO) has filed a petition in the Supreme Court and the next hearing is on January 22, he said that the Union expected that the Supreme Court would give justice to the people of the NE.
“At this point in time we are watching the next move of the state government and we have made it clear our democratic movement will continue until and unless the central government grants ILP in the state of Meghalaya,” he said.
