Manipur Naga MP on NDA leaders’ silence, state machinery’s failure, Kuki-Zomi demands | NL Interview

#manipurcrisis
The BJP did not want any NDA coalition MPs from the Northeast to speak on the Manipur crisis during no-confidence motion debate in the Parliament, said Lorho S Pfoze, Member of Parliament from Outer Manipur and leader of BJP-led NDA alliance partner Naga People’s Front. The politician said “some friends” in the BJP advised him to not speak on the ongoing conflict.
Besides divulging the silence on Manipur among the NDA leaders, Pfoze elaborated on the failures of the state machinery in the northeastern state in a conversation with Shivnarayan Rajpurohit. The first-time MP alleged that violence escalated in the state as law enforcement agencies remained mute spectators, and even led marauding mobs, comprising “militia forces”.
Pfoze said Prime Minister Narendra Modi should have visited Manipur to “wipe away the tears” of people. He also added that Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s statement on not dismissing Chief Minister Biren Singh only because he was cooperating with the centre “did not make sense” as the Kuki-Zomi community have lost faith in the CM.
The Outer Manipur MP also answered questions on whether Modi would skip strife-torn Manipur if elections were to happen today? Do Nagas share the Meiteis’ concerns on illegal immigration? Do they support the Kuki-Zomis’ demand for separate administration? What would it take for peace?

It's an ethnic cleansing done by bjp on behalf of rss in line with Gujarat model. The center and state government is not asleep. They Orchestrated it but it went wrong. Amit Shah revealed himself in parliament by saying manipur chief Minister is co operating in his ethnic cleansing project. It became more evidence when they muted Mizoram MP from speaking out. It's totally pre-planned by rss. Period.

[@mkls77]

Shame on Kingpin Amit Shah! He was the one who visited Manipur yet all the game continues on his order.

[@kooler999ify]

What ethnic cleansing? It was the minorities who started protesting against SC/ST status for meitei people.

[@mkls77]

@@kooler999ify It is an Ethnic Cleansing man by using AT & ML! The way Kuki-Zo were targeted marking their homes before burning in Langol areas, hunting, lynching only the Kuki-Zo people etc. You know why? All because of one Fake video clip pass on to the Meitei populace of raping a Meitei nurse in Lamka to which that nurse father denied in ISTV, yet the Meitei people continue to target the Kuki-Zo continuously till date which shows that there was a fully pre-planned pogrom on the Kuki-Zo people. You people are only destroying the fabric of the state. Its not and never was the intention of the Kuki-Zo people for violence okay. Poppy angle, Refugee angle, illegal migrants angle, foreigners angle, Narco terrorist angle etc and what not... these are all excuses to cover up the big blunder made by Biren Singh & Amit Shah which went out of control. You will never see the genuine reason given by the State and Central leaders. We the common people have been fooled!!!! ATSUM Protesting against the High Court order to Govt turns a blind eye violence started by the Meitei people supported by Bishnupur police in the border firing tear gas to the peaceful march protest. Only the people of CCPur were targeted, when it was actually protesting in all the Hill districts. Why burn the Anglo-Kuki War Centenary Gate foundation with tyres just to anger the Kuki-Zo people??? Why marking the Kuki-Zo houses in Langol? Pramot Singh of ML is being used as Agent of Conspiracy to fool the peace loving Meitei public. The hidden agenda lies with Biren & Amit fooling both Meiteis & Kuki-Zo people and the rest of the communities of Manipur for what? ...FOR THEIR VESTED INTEREST. Jago Manush Jago!

If being a MP is not helping him save his people, should have resigned or told he would vote against the govt. That may have opened a few ears in BJP. That's the way to deal with a power hungry party which only care about numbers to stay in power

To live in Meiteis government, the tribals people will always face a danger life in the future... To demand a separate administration will open our door for all of us, to live in peace and prosperous life. To begins our new life. Therefore, we should fight together, until and unless, we achieved our goal..... We also appeals to the government of India in demanding a separate administration for the tribals people against the Meiteis of Manipur for the earliest possible on top priority basis under article - 3 of the Indian Constitution.
