Cops to be rewarded by MODIfied Northeast India
New Delhi, 27th February, 2016
MODIfied Northeast India will be rewarding the suspended Manipur Police personals who were victims of Communal warfare. The Social Initiative which has a record of condemning the atrocities of Security forces in Ukhrul in 2014 is with the Security personals who have shown courage and falls victim in line of duty now.
It is normal for the security personals posted on 14th Feb 2016 to be on high alert as two Chief Ministers of Nagaland and Mizoram were invited at the Luita Phanit fest in Ukhrul. Earlier, both the leaders have made the state unrest with their communal remarks with regards to the Three Bills passed by the Government of Manipur, which MODIfied Northeast India never expected from the two leaders.
Frisking, checking and even detaining on suspicious is normal happening in a conflict zone like Manipur where AFSPA is imposed. Forget about common people, even Ministers and MLAs are at the receiving ends from Security personals. We are not supporting the Police act of torturing and harassing public in the name of bringing peace and normalcy in the region.
On 14th February, a team of Manipur Police Commando led by Sub Inspector Md Imtiyaz Rahaman stopped and checked the car in which Naga Student Federation (NSF) leaders were travelling to attend the fest at Ukhrul. We condemned sincerely if Police were brute and using powers to the students.
However, it is more unfortunate to get communal diktats from NSF to impose a ban on Meetei owned vehicles on Naga dominated areas. Who is playing communal card – SI Md. Imtiyaz Rahaman or the NSF? Such politics are not accepted by MODIfied Northeast India. Why NSF targeting Meetei only. And why Government of Manipur suspended the 5 cops?
The Cops who were following the orders of their senior officials should not be treated like scape-goats. Government should not punish them without proper investigations of the incidents.
Acknowledging the service and responsibilities of the suspended cops in their line of duty, we will reward and felicitate them in a grand function in Imphal shortly. We respect the contributions of Security forces who are risking their lives for the region. We also request the Security personals to honour and respect the lives of every citizen in future.
