Manipur BJP MLA Rajkumar Imo Singh said that there is no ethnic cleansing in Manipur.
Congress leader and former union finance minister, P Chidambaram has alleged that there is ethnic cleansing in Manipur.
Singh stated in X,«utterly disappointed by the way Mr @PChidambaram_IN sees the issues in the State of Manipur. He has failed to understand the core issues in Manipur.
One sided representation can never solve any issue, one should be brave enough to tell the real and full story and such statements from a seasoned politician from @INCIndia is certainly not appropriate to say the least. Seems our local @INCManipur leaders are not feeding their central leaders with the correct information, only believing in bringing PR in the State.
Were any of the central leaders briefed about issues of illegal migrants, narcotics, cross border infiltration, insurgent groups breaking ground rules, border fencing, encroachment on reserved forest as none of you spoke about it in Parliament? It was only the HM who stated in Parliament the core issues prevailing in the State. There can never be any solution if we fail to understand the core issues.
Rather than shaking hands with anti national Burmese based insurgent groups, giving them Indian passports and giving them a free hand, the then government should have acted thinking about the welfare of the people of the State, and had it been acted upon at that point of time, Manipur would have been much better placed right now with no such issues and tension between groups.»
He added, «for your kind information, there are Kuki brothers still living in Imphal area, and many wanting to come back to their original places before the conflict broke out. There is no ethnic cleansing from the valley,
