Mad dog revelation
- Imphal Times Editorial :: February 05 2017 -

‘Mad dog don’t bother to bite its own brother’- has our UNC becoming one like the mad dog?

For almost three months the so call mandate of the Naga People had made life of the common people here in the state of Manipur – the most miserable one.

Forget about those majority Meitei communities, the minority Muslims, Christians and those living on hand to mouth had been put to extreme hardship due to the ongoing economic blockade and other form of agitations that has been spearheaded by the UNC.

The meiteis cannot celebrate its auspicious Ningol Chakkouba Festival, the Christians have to give up Christmas celebration as normalcy has been crippled in the state.

Some criticized but many think the UNC is right. And why should not it be.

It is no wrong to dream of building its own nation but even God will not spare if the kind of act is being committed out of frustration.

This is being put up as per report and development that has been propagated through various media in the aftermath of the tripartite talk held yesterday at New Delhi.

It is still a good decision if the UNC call off the agitation by lifting the economic blockade along the two National High Ways.

But why only at a time when the Union Home Minister persuaded.

True or not Media report says that the MHA has successfully convinced the UNC for lifting of the economic blockade.

The report is certainly a tactful move to garner supports to a specific political party in the upcoming state Assembly election scheduled next month.

But one thing that is known to each and every people is that – none of the demands of the UNC has been agreed to fulfill in yesterday’s talk.

The demand for roll-back of the district creation by Manipur government has been straight away declined by the state government and interference from the center to appease the UNC would be meaningless.

And moreover, it is not the state government but the State High court that will decide on whether UNC president Gaidon Kamei and S Stephen should be released or not.

As per report, Feb 7, a meeting of the UNC will take a decision on whether the economic blockade should be lifted or not.

What is worried is not a meeting that decides, but a kind of influences being injected by some external force.

It is also worth mentioning that all that has been happening here in the state is the game played by some external force to distort the unity of the various community of the state.

It is now time that those who are representing their respective community should stop taking undue advantage of being leader by going hand in hand with those game planner in the back door.

One thing need to be remembered is that “No government will table the topic of Naga’s independence in the parliament even if a government enjoy full majority. For No Indian will vote again for a party who betrayed India’s integrity and boundary”.

Last word: Stop committing inhuman crimes to your brothers and sisters in the name of serving your own community.
