Imphal, October 28 2023:
Denouncing the recent statement by BJP Manipur Pradesh president A Sharda-regarding the demand raised by Kuki MLAs for separate administration in Manipur, All Manipur Nupi Marup contended that Sharda's stand tantamount to defending the 10 Kuki legislators who are scheming to balkanize Manipur.
Further stating that blaming the previous government for the ethnic conflict that broke out on May 3, 2023 is nothing but shaming the Manipuris before of the international fraternity, Nupi Marup secretary L Sumatibala said that any person committed to protect the integrity of Manipur should condemn Sharda for her statement which seems to ignore the genesis of the conflict.
People should jointly demand resignation of A Sharda from her post as BJP Manipur Pradesh president, Sumatibala asserted in a release.
Ridiculing Sharda's apparent ignorance about the demand for separate administration by the 10 Kuki MLAs, the secretary also recalled the demand made to Manipur Legislative Assembly speaker for suspending the 10 Kuki MLAs and affirmed that Nupi Marup will support protest launched by any organisation against A Sharda.
