ILP; the only means to save the true blood

Videocon tablet covered with Samsung tablet cover, it's funny because we know something is not matching. What is that not matching? The answer will be nothing but maintenance of originality lacks. Same as the case in Manipur today, there is a fear that we will be like Tripura one day if ILP is not there in Manipur. Tripura without Tripuries, Samsung cover without Samsung tablet it's merely the same if we take the same angle.

India is a democratic country and people are free to move anywhere but I think interfering the identity of someone would not be an acceptable one. One day a man came to your house saying that he missed the last bus. And you know what happen? He said he want to stay longer in your house, because of that humanly feeling you showed him positive.

But later on he asks for a room in your house. Okay you gave him your room. Did you make a mistake? Yeah you did. You said you gave your room, that's not your room but the room of one of our families next generation.

So the point here is where will our sons and daughters stay if ILP is not passed in our house? And the very reason why we need this is to save our identity.

Have you ever been to Thangal market? Or can I mean it by saying, have you ever gone to north east Bihar?

When you pass there, do you feel that you are in Manipur? For me I don't feel so. The day of Manipur without Manipuries is near.

How hard was to get our freedom back from THE MIGHTY WHITES to save our identity seems to go it drains if this is the flow of diversity in Manipur. When somebody ask you about Manipur? You put your head up high with making a big distance between your chin and your chest while giving him the reply which makes us feel proud because of our culture and identity.

Once the railway track and the body reach the landmark, we will be forced to negotiate with the tears to our future generations of Manipur with the outsiders if ILP is not finding her place in our motherland.

Those persons in high rank who are capable of making it a reality may have many reasons to delay this implementation but I say those are just excuses, if you are real son and daughter of mama Manipur then you must have felt the requirement of this ILP.

Let's remember the responsibilities that our freedom fighters have put over us. PAONA fought the war with tears to save this landmark and to save our identity but what happen today, I don't even want to run those lines here in my article, it's really painful. If ILP can't be implemented then I would like to say that patriot's day must not be observed.

I want to throw a question to you all, why do non Manipuries come in Manipur? The answer is nothing but IN SEARCH OF WORK. What kind of works? Polishing shoes, cutting hairs, etc. You know how much a barber earns? Nearly rupees forty thousand per month. And many Manipuries still jobless.

If we Manipuries take over these jobs then there will not be even a single reason left for them to hold their selves back to our soil. But due to lack of work culture in my environment it has rather become a safe haven for the entry of non Manipuries.

I know we all are humans but we cannot compromise with someone's identity. Addidas will be Addidas, Reebok will remain Reebok it can never be Reedidas.

ILP is not a thing to be discussed, it's our birthright.

Implementation of ILP is the only solution to wipe out the tears of the generations to come. Today if we give this land to others then our budding Manipuries will spit over our graves one day.

Before things become too late like Tripura, I think we should take this wakeup call seriously.
