The acting Governor of Manipur has forwarded three Bills — the passage of which led to a month-long protest in which nine persons were killed — to the President for his assent.
Meghalaya Governor V. Shanmuganathan, who holds additional charge of Manipur, recently referred the three Bills — The Protection of Manipur People Bill, 2015, The Manipur Land Revenue and Land Reforms (Seventh Amendment Bill), 2015 and The Manipur Shops and Establishments (Second Amendment Bill) 2015 — for Presidential assent.
“On Monday a delegation from Manipur met Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh to express concern over the Bills,” a statement issued by the MHA said. It said it would consult all stakeholders before taking a decision.
