Rajya Sabha BJP member Maharaja Sanajaoba Leishemba on Thursday demanded identification of illegal immigrants in Manipur and their deportation by implementing the National Registration of Citizen (NRC) to protect the state from demographic imbalance.
Raising the issue during the Zero Hour in the Upper House, the BJP MP said that due to present law and order situation in Manipur it will not be conducive to make any alteration in the existing electoral constituencies of the state.
“The abnormal and illogical increase of villages in Kangpokpi, Tengnoupal, Chandel, Churachandpur, and Pherzawl district since 1969 to 2024, is 731 to 1624, an abnormal jump of 593 villages, that is 122 per cent in about 50 years,” he said.
