Imphal, October 05 2023:
The fresh attack on Meetei residents of New Keithelmanbi area by Kuki militants has exposed failure of the government to contain the violence, said CPI Manipur State Council.
In a statement, CPI said that New Keithelmanbi area has several military camps including 9 Sector Assam Rifles, Gorkha Rifles, CRPF, Manipur Police outpost and RAF.
Fresh attack in such heavily militarised area lays bare failure of the home department in maintaining law and order.
It also shows that the security advisor and DGP are incompetent in performing their assigned duties, the statement said while also expressing suspicion of a possible strategy to prolong the crisis.
The statement also strongly denounced 9 Sector Assam Rifles for using brute force against Meira Paibi on Wednesday night and demanded appropriate action against the officer responsible.
It further demanded the government to take up effective measures to end the violence and restore peace at the earliest.
