Act now : TC urges Govt

Imphal, September 03 2024: The Taragi Cheishu (TC) has asked the Government to take strong action against Kuki-Chin terrorists before the people's simmering anger explodes.

Speaking to media persons at their Khurai Ahongei Leirak office today, RC chairperson advocate Khaidem Mani said that violent attacks follow every time Kukis organise so-called peace rallies.

The Kuki organised a 'peace rally' on August 31 and starting from the next day, Kuki terrorists unleashed a series of aerial bombing using drones at different places including Koutruk, Khaidem Mani said.

Many National media have reported that the new warfare of bombing civilian areas by Kuki terrorists using drones is a direct threat to the National security of India.

Yet, Kuki narco-terrorists have been claiming in social media that the drone attacks were carried out by Meitei militia and they were only firing in self defence.

Intelligence reports have already corroborated which version is true and which one is concocted, Khaidem Mani said.

The Government of India ought not remain silent even after Kukis have bombed civilians using high-tech drones.

The Government must not remain silent even after knowing well that the Manipur violence is a result of the aggression launched by Kuki militants intent on breaking apart Manipur in collaboration with illegal armed immigrants from Myanmar, he said.

The State Cabinet needs to take a firm decision to tackle the drone-propelled bomb attacks and demonstrate there is still a Government in the State.

The situation is really critical and it should be discussed at a special Assembly session at the earliest, Khaidem Mani said.

It appears that the Government of India and armed illegal immigrants have been working hand in gloves to disintegrate Manipur.

It appears that the war being waged by Kuki terrorists on Meiteis is supported tacitly by Indian security forces, he said.

Recalling Prime Minister Narendra Modi's pledge to uproot all forms of terrorism from the soil of India, he questioned the Government of India's inaction against the Kuki terrorists who have perpetrated several acts of terrorism in Manipur.

It's time for a strong mass uprising which is more energetic than the one seen on June 18, 2001, said and added that it's time for all CSOs, clubs, organisations and Meira Paibis to come together and prepare for such a mass uprising, he said.

Taragi Cheishu Chairperson RK Nimai decried that the Government did nothing even after civilians were killed and injured in the series of drone-propelled bombings carried out by Kuki terrorists even though the Government has infrastructure to neutralise such attacks.

While many village volunteers are being arrested and disarmed in the valley, only some single barrel guns were recovered during the combing operations carried out by security forces in hill areas inhabited by Kukis, he said.

Such partisan attitude of the Government and the security forces is highly condemnable, RK Nimai said.

The violence in Manipur is heading in the direction of a civil war.

If the situation further deteriorates, peace and normalcy may never return in Manipur, he said.

The DGP and the Security Advisor are just agents of the Government.

It is the Government of India which must be held accountable.

The blame must also go to the Chief Minister for his miserable failure to discharge his duties, he said.

Given the people's simmering anger, Manipur may witness a strong mass uprising and the Government will find it hard to control such an uprising.

When one's anger and grievances cross limits, no one fears death, he said.

While strongly condemning the recent drone propelled bomb attacks at Koutruk on September 1, 2024 which killed two civilians including a young mother and injured several others including the woman's minor daughter, the Taragi Cheishu (TC) has also questioned the probity of the Central security forces deployed in the adjoining areas.

It said that every time there was a hint of reconciliation amongst the civilians � may it be in Pallel or Jiribam or Moreh, the Kuki supremacists would meticulously unleash violence to sabotage it.

The Taragi Cheishu asserted that any call to disintegrate Manipur must be viewed untenable given the historical and legal personality of Manipur State for it had international treaty making power, autonomous constitutional process and an elected government which makes it notably distinct from the rest of the erstwhile princely States in India.
