Groups representing indigenous communities have stepped up the demand for the implementation of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Manipur.
Organisations representing 19 tribal federations and tribes such as Tangkhul, Zeme, Liangmai, Aimol, Maring and Kom have submitted a memorandum to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking the NRC for filtering the foreigners out, putting them in detention centres and deporting them.
Copies of the memorandum were on July 12 submitted to Home Minister Amit Shah, Manipur Governor La Ganeshan and Chief Minister Nongthombam Biren Singh.
