The same pattern appears with Amit Shah ji as well. He, too, seemed to forget the name of the state to which Chanambam Rishikanta belongs.
He is from Manipur, Amit Shah ji.
Manipur, the state that many of us believe your government’s policies are placing under immense demographic pressure through unchecked immigration.
Modiji, it is now confirmed that you forgot the name of the state to which Mirabai Chanu belongs.
She is from Manipur, the state that, in my view, your government has failed to protect and where I believe it has allowed a prolonged conflict involving armed groups operating from across the Myanmar border which you have been providing shelter and foods.
Accountability is a word not found in the Government of India's dictionary under the present BJP leadership…
It’s not only about NEET and question leaks but also about numerous issues: electoral bonds, the PM CARES Fund, the tragedy of Demonetisation and the Covid fiasco, including the Covishield vaccine controversy…This is in addition to the general abuse and subversion of institutions, including the basic mechanisms of the legislative oversight function under the parliamentary system.
Far from the cosmopolitan gaze, amidst these “national” issues, like the invisible provincial tragedies of the distant colonies of the European empires of yesteryears, Manipur, my home state, has been reeling under an unprecedented tragedy for more than three years.
Today, as I witness the tear gas and lathi charges right in the heart of Delhi, I can’t help but think of the blown-off shoulder and pellet-ridden heads of protesting young students as they face tear gas and pellet guns in Imphal during the present crisis in Manipur…And of course, those mutilated and bruised bodies, burnt down villages and residential complexes, life of the internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the wretched condition of the so-called “relief camps”, pathetic conduct and bankruptcy of the political class, and the incompetence and failures of the security establishments, including units of the powerful Indian army, under whose nose, hundreds of people have been killed, thousands of houses burnt down and villages emptied of their inhabitants… There is NO ACCOUNTABILITY for all these criminal acts and negligence.
And the PARLIAMENT of the largest democracy doesn’t have time for any discussion on this tragedy…Let alone fixing accountability, to make the tragedy visible itself is a struggle; to recognise it as a tragedy of a “constituent state” of the UNION, if not a “national issue”!
Unthinkable, and unconstitutional as it is, people are still not able to move freely in the state or get access to the “national” highways, as they are being denied access, or there is no security for them to get access to these highways because they belong to this or that community (as if Article 15, Article 19 are not for the people of the state).
And just as they cannot get access to roads, air travel becomes a necessity. Airlines have been milking these helpless people by hiking prices, and when elected members like me have approached the ministry and other officials, they say these are “private airlines” driven by demand and supply, and hence the Government cannot impose a “fare cap,” etc.
And lo! When the Indigo crisis hit the “national mainstream”. The Government of India imposed a “fare cap” to stop the airlines from exploiting the situation by manipulating the fare hike!
But one day, hopefully, accountability will be heard, and the reality that postcolonial scholars talk about, namely, the continuity of the colonial in the postcolonial, will also finally come to an end! "Vande Mataram”, "Ima Leipakna Yaiphare"!

Bhumeshwory and Lanchenba Show Manipur’s Sporting Future Beyond Football and Weightlifting
When Bhumeshwory Devi Huidrom stood with the Indian tricolour after winning bronze in the women’s 800m event at the Asian U23 Athletics Championships 2026 in Ordos, China, it was more than a personal triumph. It was a proud moment for Manipur and India. Her timing of 2:10.20 placed her on the continental podium and brought attention to a discipline that does not always receive the public celebration it deserves in the state.Maps
Soon after, another young Manipuri sportsperson, Laitonjam Lanchenba, added to this sense of pride by winning bronze in the 100m Butterfly event at the 12th Asian Age Group Aquatic Championships 2026 in Bangkok, Thailand. Competing in the 15 to 16 years category, he clocked 55.35 seconds and represented India with distinction.
These two achievements deserve to be seen together.
When Manipur speaks of sport, the conversation usually begins with football. It then moves naturally to weightlifting, boxing, judo, taekwondo, hockey, wushu, fencing and other disciplines that have repeatedly brought honour to the state and the country. This is understandable. These sports have produced icons, built public memory, and shaped Manipur’s reputation as one of India’s most remarkable sporting regions.
But the medals won by Bhumeshwory Devi and Lanchenba tell us something important. Manipur’s sporting promise is much wider than the disciplines that usually dominate public attention.

Violence Took Their Homes, SIR Must Not Take Their Votes
The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Manipur has created another grave concern. Reports emerging from Kuki dominated areas allege that the names of Meitei voters who were driven from their villages are being classified as untraceable and considered for deletion.
The violence that began in Manipur in May 2023 did not merely destroy houses and uproot families. It fractured settlements, separated communities and forced thousands of citizens to live far from the places where their names had been registered as voters.
In Khumujamba Meitei Leikai under Churachandpur Assembly segment alone, it has been claimed that more than 180 internally displaced Meitei voters face removal from the electoral roll. These citizens did not voluntarily abandon their homes. They fled because remaining there had become dangerous during the ethnic violence. Many are still living in relief camps or temporary accommodation.
The exact number must be officially verified. But even the possibility that conflict displaced citizens could lose their voting rights because they cannot safely return to their original homes should alarm the Election Commission of India, the Manipur government and every institution committed to constitutional democracy.
A voter cannot be declared politically absent merely because violence has made the voter physically absent.

How long will it take for Meitei fools to realise that is always been the Sakhuni Mammas who have been masterminding this Manipur conflict.
Look at the hyper coordination. Every few months they'll order their Kuki mercenaries to attack Meiteis or Nagas n will soon provide cover
While Republic TV was reporting on the construction of Drug Bridge in Manipur’s Kuki occupied territories. The inauguration of the “Drug Bridge” was held today, and the State continues to remain complicit in what has been alleged to be an illegal construction.
Manipur is increasingly being turned into India’s gateway to the Golden Triangle, and these newly constructed bridges are seen by many as strengthening connectivity to one of the world’s most notorious narcotics-producing regions.
The Government of India can no longer escape accountability by merely issuing political statements. Despite repeated assurances from the Union Home Minister about a “zero tolerance” policy against drugs and the fight against narco-terrorism, the ground reality presents a deeply troubling contrast. If infrastructure alleged to facilitate illegal cross-border activities continues to be constructed and inaugurated without meaningful intervention, serious questions arise about the effectiveness and sincerity of the government’s anti-drug campaign.
Turning a blind eye while such developments unfold undermines public confidence and weakens India’s stated commitment to combating drug trafficking and organized crime. The people of Manipur deserve more than speeches, they deserve decisive action, transparency, and accountability from both the State and the Union Government.
@republic@Republic_Bharat The Drug Bridge just got inaugurated today.
A recent opinion published in The Hills Journal under the name Sushma Sharma, with no clear credential or public accountability, carried the title “Accountability in Action: Human Right Bodies Questions BJP’s Failure for Manipur’s Christians’ Crisis”. The article presents the Manipur conflict as a case of BJP enabled persecution of Kuki Christians.
The problem is not that it questions the government. The government must be questioned. The problem is that it hides behind selective human rights language while reducing Manipur’s complex ethnic, territorial and political conflict into a simplistic Hindu versus Christian story.
That is not accountability. That is propaganda.
This needs to be rebutted clearly.
The problem is that the article uses the language of human rights to promote a narrow propaganda frame. It presents Kukis only as Christian victims, Meiteis as Hindu aggressors and the BJP as the enabling force behind a religious crisis. This is not serious analysis. It is political simplification.
Manipur’s tragedy did not begin as a religious war. It emerged from a deep and unresolved conflict shaped by land, identity, poppy cultivation, the state government’s action against Kuki militants under the Suspension of Operation agreement, eviction drives of encroachers from reserved and protected forests, concerns over illegal migration, the presence of armed groups, demographic anxieties, territorial claims and the collapse of trust between communities. The Meitei demand for inclusion in the Scheduled Tribes list also became a trigger, creating the occasion for the rally organised on May 3, 2023. Religion may shape identity and attract external sympathy, but it is not the root cause of the violence.
To call it simply a “Christians’ crisis” is to erase the suffering of many others.
Since 3 May 2023, Kukis have suffered. Meiteis have suffered. Nagas have suffered. Homes have been burned. Villages have been destroyed. Families have been displaced. Churches, temples, Sanamahi sacred places, public buildings and private properties have come under attack. Lives have been lost across communities. No honest account of Manipur can recognise one grief and ignore another.
That is precisely what the article does.

Kuki SoO समझौता विवाद: सरकारी रिकॉर्ड में गंभीर उल्लंघनों के आरोप, 2023 के दस्तावेजों ने खड़े किए बड़े सवाल
मणिपुर में कुकी उग्रवादी संगठनों के साथ किए गए सस्पेंशन ऑफ ऑपरेशंस (Suspension of Operations-SoO) समझौते को लेकर एक बार फिर राजनीतिक और प्रशासनिक बहस तेज हो गई है। वर्ष 2023 के सरकारी रिकॉर्ड, राज्य सरकार के गृह विभाग के दस्तावेज, खुफिया एजेंसियों की रिपोर्ट, मणिपुर कैबिनेट के निर्णय और गृह मंत्रालय (MHA) के साथ हुए आधिकारिक पत्राचार ने इस समझौते के क्रियान्वयन और निगरानी व्यवस्था पर कई गंभीर सवाल खड़े किए हैं।
आधिकारिक रिकॉर्ड में आरोप लगाया गया है कि SoO के तहत शामिल कुछ संगठनों द्वारा निर्धारित शिविरों से कैडरों की अनुपस्थिति, हथियारों के साथ सार्वजनिक आवाजाही, नए सदस्यों की भर्ती, प्रशिक्षण शिविरों का संचालन, अवैध उगाही, गोला-बारूद की खरीद और हिंसक गतिविधियों जैसी घटनाएं सामने आईं। हालांकि, इन दस्तावेजों में दर्ज अधिकांश जानकारियां खुफिया रिपोर्टों (Intelligence Inputs), एफआईआर और प्रशासनिक अभिलेखों पर आधारित हैं। इन आरोपों की न्यायालय में अंतिम पुष्टि या दोषसिद्धि नहीं हुई है।
2005 में शुरू हुई थी SoO की प्रक्रिया
दस्तावेजों के अनुसार, SoO व्यवस्था की शुरुआत वर्ष 2005 में हुई, जब केंद्र सरकार की सुरक्षा एजेंसियों की पहल पर कुछ कुकी उग्रवादी संगठनों के साथ बातचीत का रास्ता खोला गया। उस समय घाटी आधारित उग्रवादी संगठनों के खिलाफ मणिपुर पुलिस कमांडो और अन्य सुरक्षा बल लगातार अभियान चला रहे थे, जबकि कुकी संगठनों को वार्ता की प्रक्रिया में शामिल किया गया।
बाद में 22 अगस्त 2008 को भारत सरकार, मणिपुर सरकार तथा कुकी नेशनल ऑर्गनाइजेशन (KNO) और यूनाइटेड पीपुल्स फ्रंट (UPF) के बीच औपचारिक त्रिपक्षीय SoO समझौते पर हस्ताक्षर हुए।
इस समझौते के तहत उग्रवादी संगठनों को भारतीय संविधान, कानून और मणिपुर की क्षेत्रीय अखंडता का सम्मान करने, नामित शिविरों में रहने, हथियारों को 'डबल लॉक सिस्टम' के तहत सुरक्षित रखने तथा नई भर्ती, उगाही, हिंसा और सार्वजनिक रूप से हथियार लेकर घूमने जैसी गतिविधियों से दूर रहने की शर्तें स्वीकार करनी थीं।
बदले में सरकार की ओर से कैडरों को मासिक स्टाइपेंड, निर्धारित शिविर और राजनीतिक संवाद की सुविधा उपलब्ध कराई गई।

There is a peculiar irony in CoTU’s latest 48-hour ultimatum to the Central and State governments. An organisation that has repeatedly called shutdowns and blockades along NH-2 and NH-37 for three years now speaks the language of free movement, essential commodities, medicines, public access, and equal protection.
The demand may sound reasonable in isolation, but it cannot be separated from CoTU’s own record. When those who helped turn national highways into instruments of pressure suddenly demand open highways, the public is entitled to ask: Was free movement a constitutional right only when CoTU needed it?
The language of the press release is instructive. CoTU describes road transportation as “the lifeline of the people and the backbone of economic activities.” It speaks of obstruction to essential commodities, goods, medicines and daily basic necessities. It complains of immense hardship to communities. It demands unrestricted public access. It warns that failure to act will compel the Kuki-Zo community to undertake “appropriate and pre-emptive democratic measures.” At the bottom of the release appears the slogan: “Justice, Security, and Equal Protection for All.”
But CoTU’s problem is not the language it has used. Its problem is its own record. For three years, CoTU has repeatedly used the highways of Manipur as instruments of pressure. It has called shutdowns, imposed blockades, disrupted movement and helped normalise the idea that NH-2 and NH-37 can be switched on and off according to political convenience. The same organisation that now describes highways as the lifeline of the people has, on multiple occasions, participated in choking that lifeline.
This is the contradiction that cannot be ignored. When CoTU imposed shutdowns, did it not know that highways carry essential commodities? When it blocked or disrupted movement, did it not know that medicines, goods, fuel, students, patients, transporters and ordinary families depend on these roads? When vehicular movement was halted, did the suffering of others not count as hardship? When Meitei civilians could not freely access these routes since the outbreak of the conflict on May 3, 2023, did “unrestricted public access” not matter?

If the Senapati–Imphal highway remains closed, there is simply no way to open the Kangpokpi route, as Kangpokpi lies in between.
A humanitarian crisis demands humanitarian thinking, not selective outrage or political convenience. If access is genuinely the concern, then every road carrying essential supplies should be opened without discrimination.
This is a moment for introspection. Hypocrisy during a humanitarian crisis only deepens suffering and erodes credibility. The lesson is simple: humanity must always come before politics.
Slowly the tide seems to be turning in Manipur.
Leftist Liberals seem to find sudden interest in reporting from the valley where @BJP4India govt is failing miserably. These same lot of people didn't miss out on any opportunity to vilify Meiteis in the early phase of Manipur mayhem.
While the same clueless right wing groups are still clueless. They seem to never get tired of defending the indefensible Modi.
@FactswithDinesh@spamthoi@VladAdiReturns is one who spends enough time researching the ground realities and one who talks sense on what's happening in Manipur.
If 5 mainstream "journalists" do at least half the research like he does, the whole world would know the truth in 1 week's time.
Singjamei | Manipur | 16-04-26
Shame! Shame!
Central security forces are destroying a CCTV camera at the scene of protest against the killing of children by Kuki terr0rists.
What are the security forces trying to hide?
What is it the "law enforcers" don't want to show the public when they are working in accordance with the law?
Many Meitei mothers have been injured by their actions.
Isn't this a self confession of their brutality?
These are the same forces who couldn't open the HW in Kangpokpi and who got beaten black and blue by Kuki mobs.
@YKhemchandSingh@NBirenSingh@LokBhavManipur@ndtv@IndianExpress@the_hindu
A Kuki FB page with more than 100 K followers demanding a state from Indian government citing their nationalistic history, yet the PoK in Indian Map is abruptly cut !!!
Too many questions !!! 🤷🏻♂️🤔
