Imphal, August 05 2022:
In connection with the controversial thesis written under the guidance of Prof Amar Yumnam and Dr Sadananda Sahoo, Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) Manipur Pradesh has demanded clarification from the two guides and clear the doubts of the people.
In a release, BJYM Manipur Pradesh president M Barish Sharma condemned the failure of the two guides to issue clarification on the matter despite repeated demands from several organisations and student bodies.
The thesis 'The complexity called Manipur' written by Brig Sushil Kumar Sharma with a forwarding letter by Justice W A Shishak mislead the people by claiming that the hills and valley of Manipur are different entities during the signing of instrument of accession on September 21, 1949 and also mentioned on pages 57 and 58, chapter-3 of the thesis that the area of Manipur was only 700 sq miles.
Though the research scholar wrongly wrote the history and even if Dr Sadananda Sahoo, who is a non-Manipuri guide, was not aware about Manipur, Prof Amar Yumnam cannot feign ignorance, Barish contended, while urging the professor to dispel the doubts within seven days.
He cautioned that Prof Amar should bear all consequences if he fails to clarify within the stipulated period.
