As demands for the implementation of the Inner Line Permit (ILP) in Meghalaya continue to gain traction, the State unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday said it has approached the Centre seeking stronger safeguards to curb illegal infiltration, reiterating its zero-tolerance policy on illegal immigration.
“Demand for taking up the centre I am not saying it is going to be Inner Line Permit but some mechanisms have to be there to check this illegal infiltration. We have already informed the centre about this,” said Rikman G Momin, state BJP President.
The Meghalaya BJP president said the State leadership has already raised the issue with the Central Government and stressed the need for an effective mechanism to regulate and monitor illegal entry into the State. His remarks come amid growing demands from various quarters for the implementation of the ILP in Meghalaya, with concerns over illegal immigration continuing to dominate public discourse. The BJP leadership maintained that stronger safeguards are required to address the issue and protect the interests of the State.
