Following the unrest in Manipur, even the ruling BJP leaders and workers are not safe anymore in the state, BJP Manipur State Secretary Paokam Haokip told Minister of State (Home) Nityanand Rai and BJP National Spokesperson Sambit Patra.
Paokam Haokip said the current violence in Manipur is so devastating that they are not safe anymore. Even the party’s president and the chief minister could not save us and we are no longer in a position to work for the party.
He also pointed out that he was almost killed and had a narrow escape.

He then apprised the visiting Central leaders of the urgent need for an alternative arrangement in the form of separate administration to enable the party leaders and workers from the Kuki community to work peacefully for the welfare of the people and the nation.
He also shared his opinion that invoking Article 356 can solve 50 per cent of the problems which could also pave the way for initiating the peace process.
Meanwhile, BJP Sadar Hills president Thangjamang Kipgen said that his village, Bongbal Khullen, was completely burned down and he could not even take out his spare clothes.
“When N Biren Singh has no authority, only then we will start believing in the peace process,” said another Kuki leader to the visiting Central leaders.
