The Federation of Haomee is a Meitei-led civil society organisation based in the Imphal Valley of Manipur, India.
[9][10][11] The Federation of Haomee appears to have been created by the joining of forces of two movements: the International Meitei Forum, founded by R. K. Rajendra Singh in 2012,[12] and the Joint Committee on Inner Line Permit System, headed by Sapamcha Jadumani, which was reportedly in existence in various forms since 1997.
[13] The International Meitei Forum (IMF) was formed around the time the Union Government had reached peace agreements with the Naga and Kuki militant groups.
[15] In 2006, it was reported that Sapamcha Jadumani, acting as the president of Federation of Regional Indigenous Societies (FREINDS), met the Manipur chief minister Okram Ibobi Singh to impress upon him the need for the introduction of Inner Line Permit in the state.
However, the Union Home Ministry is reported to have opposed the demand and asked the Manipur government to take effective steps to defuse the crisis.
