Hope floats for Manipur’s Muslims

Dilshad, a voter of Kshetrigao Assembly constituency, drives other people’s cars for a living. Comprising 8.32% of the State’s population — down from 8.8% in 2001 — the Pangals were relatively better off than Muslims elsewhere in India when Manipur attained statehood in 1972. We want to remove the wedge that the BJP’s communal politics has driven into Manipur’s social fabric again in the past few years,” Sheikh Noorul Hassan, State NPP general secretary and the party’s Kshetrigao candidate, said. “The majority community thus wants a change,” Mr. Hassan said, indicating the BJP’s Nahakpam Indrajit, who is seeking re-election. The BJP alluded to its ‘sabka saath, sabka vikas’ credo to bust the “myth” about its disdain for Muslims.
