JAN 6, 2026 (IMP): “This is where the border of India begins, India with Kuki… I cannot go to this side because this is the India-Kuki border,” Lok Sabha Manipur MP (Inner) Dr. Bimol Akoijam stated in frustration while he was stopped and made to stand at an imaginary buffer zone created by central security forces, preventing him from proceeding further into Kuki-dominated areas on Tuesday.
MP Bimol was visiting Saiton village in Bishnupur district, where two villagers were injured in twin IED-triggered blasts, to oversee the current situation. Standing at a bridge, he underscored the unconstitutional division that is turning Manipur into a fortified divide.
The MP also alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah are directly accountable for the situation, asserting that with forces under President’s Rule blocking even Members of Parliament, such a travesty is absent in other Indian riot zones.
