The voices of Manipuris in Imphal and Churachandpur deserve equal attention and respect. It's time for a change in how protests are handled.

#Manipur This is the first time in the country that pellet guns are used for crowd control on protesting students in uniform, drawing mass condemnation from all over. #CentralForcesBrutality#DisturbedArea#ManipurViolence#ManipurBurning#ManipurFightsBack #Justice4ManipurStudents

Finally #KukiNarcoterrorism discussed at the United Nations platform !!
29 September, 2023 at 12.40 Hrs (CES)
Agenda Item 5: Human rights Mechanism.
“Mr. President,
Today, we draw your attention to a grave and urgent situation faced by the indigenous people of #Manipur, India. These #indigenous communities stand on the brink of a dire conflict, initiated by cross-border narco-terrorist groups.
This conflict has resulted in a tragic toll of over 200 lives lost and the destruction of approximately 5,000 homes, leaving 60,000 people homeless.
Given these distressing circumstances, the peace-loving people of Manipur earnestly appeal to the Indigenous Mechanism and other relevant bodies within this council to facilitate communication with the government of #India:
1. To prioritize the pressing issue of #IllegalImmigrations and the widespread illicit cultivation of #OpiumPoppies covering an area exceeding 10s of thousand acres in the hills of Indo-Myanmar Borderland particularly in Manipur.
2. To urge the competent agencies and parties to take urgent initiatives by relevant mandates to address the gross violations of the human rights in the ongoing violence in Manipur.
3. To recognize and address the menace of narco-terrorism and emerging new #Goldentriangle and its far-reaching consequences on the longstanding ethnic harmony, economic stability, and ecological well-being of the Indigenous People in Manipur and WSEA region.
4. Given the suspected involvement of immigrant armed militant groups in narco- terrorist activities in the region including the ongoing violence in Manipur, we call for a thorough review of the policy of Suspension of Operations with such groups by govt. of India.
It is our hope that the council's collective efforts will help alleviate the suffering of the indigenous people of Manipur and contribute to a just and peaceful resolution of the current crisis

It might seem with the way things are going, any justice for people of #Meitei community #Manipur is too prompt, sudden and not acceptable for the government.

'Prompt CBI enquiry'? As if it was handed over to the CBI after the photo of the two teens went viral on social media!
Wasn't the case handed over to the CBI on 28th August? After the police seemingly found it difficult to trace the kids who went missing from July 6 and were suspected to have been kidnapped and taken to areas dominated by armed Kuki militants?
Another dishonest moment that seeks to articulate a manufactured 'tribal victimhood'!
It's nothing but a mockery of real tribal issues by dishonesty seeking to appropriate the real issue of marginalization of tribes in India.

A student, Mayanglambam Johnson, now finds himself in a hospital bed,on the brink of life and death, as a consequence of actions taken by the Central Force. He had merely sought justice, unaware that in our great country, it could prove to be an overly ambitious request #Manipur
She is a Kuki, Christian, tribal. At UN, she explains - Manipur crisis has nothing to do with religion or minority but land ownership. 90% of land is exclusive for 40% of population, while 53% of the population is restricted to just 10% of land. National media, please note.
The use of Shotgun Pallet to innocent was banned by the @UN & the Supreme Court of India but the security forces were seen shooting to the students of #Manipur during the protest today in Imphal
The injustice and oppression towards Meiteis continues
#SaveMeitei#SaveManipur
This is the result of shooting kartoos bullet on unarmed student by indian central forces today at Imphal ? Is this really necessary? Their incapability to save two student being killed by #KukiNarcoTerrorists is reflected on their aggression on protestors protesting against it.
You may have tremendous contribution in sports and cultural life of the country or in defence services with three stars generals and decorated officers, including those who had commanded 'surgical' operations or sacrificed fighting Al-Qaeda in foreign soil...
Manipuri dance may be celebrated as one of the classical dances of this country or UNESCO may honoured your music, you may have globally known cultural icons like Ratan Thiyam and Aribam Shyam or numerous sports heroes who have made the tri colour fly with pride in numerous international arenas...to think of it, even legendary music composer S.D. Burman who was born of a Meitei woman...this is besides medical specialists in leading hospitals and other professionals in the country...
But what all these contributions mean to the Indian State ultimately?
Letting you burn for four months...and nurturing people who seek to destroy the state, politically and socially?
