Assam: Ex-CM Mahanta against ILP in state

Dispur:  Former Assam CM Prafulla Kumar Mahanta on Sunday said he does not support the inner-line permit in the state.
His statement comes after several organizations in the state resumed to demanding ILP to get rid of the ‘ill effects’ of CAA after Centre recently implemented ILP on Manipur.
“I don’t support the ILP. It has many negative implications. You have to consider everything. You just can’t bring it (ILP),” said Mahanta answering question to why the ILP was not implemented during his tenure as CM.
Inner-line permit(ILP) ILP is a travel-permit issued by Centre allowing an Indian inward travel  into protected regions like for a limited period of time.
Currently, the states were ILP is permitted are Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Nagaland (except Dimapur) and Manipur.
India lost its reputation globally for its stance on CAA despite mass protests in the nation.
