The Hindu
Pressure groups in Meghalaya have slammed Union Home Minister Amit Shah for his alleged flip-flop on the issue of Inner-Line Permit (ILP), a British-era system of regulating inflow of outsiders.
Their reaction followed Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma’s announcement that Mr. Shah would be visiting Meghalaya in March to discuss issues such as “infiltration” and implementation of the Meghalaya Residents’ Safety and Security Act (MRSSA) with civil society groups and NGOs.
