Press Conference @ Dispur Press Club, Guwahati
Key Points
1. The violence in Manipur has now entered into 8 months, Manipur is devasted thousands of people have lost their home and living in relief camps in their own state.
WHO TAKES THE RESPONSIBILITY? IS IT THE HON’BLE PM OR HON’BLE CM OR BOTH?
2. 70,000 security forces have remained mute spectator because of the Suspension of Operation (SoO). Is the live of people more important than the SoO?
3. The Meetei are deprived of the rights of citizen in their own state. The discriminatory policy adopted by the centre and state Government towards the indigenous Meetei community have created the opportunity to the immigrant community who essentially took the advantage and it looks like today the immigrant community can influence the decisions of the governments in both state and centre.
4. Such is the very unfortunate situation in Manipur and the main root cause of the Meetei’s suffering. The decades long ignorance of the Government in both state and centre has culminated to the current crisis in Manipur and the immigrant community has threatened the national security of our country.
Hence, the government in both state and centre must recognised the rights of the Meetei community by enlisting in the scheduled tribe in the Indian Constitution at the earliest. This is the only way forward for a durable peace in Manipur.
