Amit Shah Declares ‘Won’t Allow Manipur to Break Apart’ in Imphal Statement

Amit Shah, the union home minister, claimed on Monday that there have been “attempts to alter Manipur’s demography through infiltration” and that forces “trying to break Manipur and those maintaining unity” are running in the Lok Sabha election. At a rally in Imphal, the capital of Manipur, Shah is cited as stating, “The most important thing is that no matter how much one tries,hum Manipur ko tutne nahi denge’ (we won’t allow Manipur to break).”

“The Narendra Modi government’s top priority is establishing peace in Manipur by involving all communities and maintaining the integrity of the state,” the minister declared. “Maybe our (CM) Biren Singh did not say this, but he maintained a strong demand before PM Modi: Manipur cannot stay united without an inner-line permit. This is what I want to tell you today.” The BJP government’s granting of an inner-line permit has fortified Manipur. Shah continued.

On May 3 of last year, when a “Tribal Solidarity March” was held in the hill regions to protest against the Meitei community’s desire for Scheduled Tribe (ST) classification, ethnic confrontations broke out in Manipur, resulting in at least 219 fatalities. Shah declared during the event that “the destiny of the country will change when the northeast and Manipur change.”

PM Modi says’marked improvement’ in the situation in Manipur

In an interview published in an Assamese daily last week, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated that the situation in Manipur has “markedly improved.” “I have previously discussed this in Parliament. Our administrative apparatus and greatest resources have been devoted to settling the dispute. The administration of Manipur and the Indian government’s prompt action have resulted in a notable improvement in the state’s circumstances, the prime minister stated.
