Support The Interview with Karan Thapar - https://fij.mojo.page/support-the-int... In an interview which reveals the anguish and sense of injustice felt by a sizeable section of the Meitei people as well as their deep dislike of the Kukis, the Chief of the Meitei Leepun has said that if the government, either in Delhi or in Manipur, does not intervene quickly, “there will be civil war” adding “the Kukis will not be able to defend themselves”. Mr. Pramot Singh made clear this was a warning to both governments. At one point in the interview, towards the end, when Mr. Pramot Singh is talking about the civil war that would happen if the government does not intervene, he spoke about a 15 kilometre area where, he claimed, the Kukis have set up roadblocks and encroachments, stating bluntly that they would be “wiped out” in that area. Please see this for yourself. I will not say more. Mr. Pramot Singh, who flew from Imphal to Delhi specifically for this interview, said the Kukis are “outsiders”. He said “they are not part of the family” adding they are “not indigenous to Manipur”. He described them as “tenants” in Manipur. More importantly, he said that “the majority of Kukis are illegal” although he did not have any facts to back up this claim.
