Imphal, May 13 2023:
Meitei Resurgence Forum (MReF) has claimed that the civil unrest that recently erupted in Manipur is related to "narco-terrorism, illegal immigration, land and poppy cultivation" .
In a statement issued by Oinam Doren Singh, general secretary, MReF asserted that the spate of violence "has nothing to do with the inclusion of Meitei/Meetei in the ST list of India" .
MReF went on to allege that the entire episode was a "planned and coordinated act of violence, arson and land grabbing by Kuki militants" .
But the blame has been placed on the majority population without making any mention of the Meitei victims, it alleged.
Regarding the demand for a separate administration made by ten MLAs, MReF accused them of issuing a press statement "replete with lies and distorted facts" .
