Meiteis Can Never Agree to Kuki Demand For Manipur Division—Meitei MLA Nishikant Sapam Who Backs BJP

Support The Interview with Karan Thapar - https://fij.mojo.page/support-the-int...
In an interview to Karan Thapar for The Wire, an independent Meitei MLA from Manipur, who supports the BJP Biren Singh-led government in Imphal, has emphatically said that Meiteis will never accept the division of Manipur. Mr. Nishikant Sapam, who is also Chairman of the Committee of Privileges and Ethics in the Manipur Assembly, said the demand by ten Kuki MLAs (7 of whom are from the BJP and 2 are ministers) for a separate state or union territory was a fundamental breach of their oath under the Constitution which they took when they become MLAs. That oath commits them to protect the integrity of Manipur. The demand to divide the state is a flagrant breach of that oath.
