A speech cut short, for it doesn't suit the communal discourse that serves sacterian agenda? But a sensible speech nonetheless, something that comes as a relief after some of those so-called 'progressive' people from outside Manipur have earlier joined the communal bandwagon to perpetuate the conflict with their communal and ethnicized harangue as informed discourse.
Incidentally, much before the present crisis, for decades, I have been pleading to address the issue of 'development' - especially the real or perceived differential patterns - in different regions in the state of Manipur as well as socio-economic, educational status of different communities in the state WITHOUT COMMUNALISING (or 'ethnicizing') the discourse. Even lobbied with successive govts to institute a high level committee, on the line of Sachar Committee, so that there's an informed discussion to counter the propagandist campaigns of the communal and sacterian politics, and also to take corrective measures, if there is any legimate and factual discrepancies.
Simultaneously, on many occasions, I have sought to draw the attention to the extractive economy that comes with the neo-liberal wave sweeping across the region, and accompanying militarization of the region, and to face it collectively without wasting energy and time on self-inflicted 'ethnic' politics!
We ought to reflect on what this violent crisis means for people in the region called India's North East...
Manipur has been burning for the past 6 months and a few days. But the whole Nation is busy with Sports and Election. Why the media is paying a silent spectator towards Manipur which is also called a Sports hub of India? Manipur has brought laurels in the many fields specially Sports from time to time, ahead of most of the states of India. And why now, why the media is turning their back when Manipur is burning?
Now it is festive season. We have been celebrating the Diwali festival from many years back. Now it is time to show the whole of India that Manipur is mourning. As a remembrance for our martyrs and those who are all affected, let us switch off all the lights for just 10 minutes from 6 - 6.10 pm in this festival of light. Let the whole of Manipur be dark for 10 minutes. Let us unite as one. Please come one and for all for the cause.
Sidaba mapu na yaiphare!!!
‼️AM I GOING TO DIE?‼️
A Meitei woman farmer got shot on her back. #KukiTerrorists continue attacking Meitei farmers using automatic weapons. Is there no one who can stop them? Are Meitei lives so worthless that we are being used as target practice?
#IndiaUnderAttack
❗️Kuki Inpi threatens India if @manipur_police not removed from #Moreh, #Manipur the cosmopolitan town from where the indigenous #Meiteis have been cleansed by armed Chin Kukis. #KukiAtrocities#ManipurFightsBack
❗️In a shameless lie, that defines the death of humanity, the group said police brutality resulted in retaliatory shoot out, while exposing their habitual liar antics as the statement didn't mention a word on the brutal killing of #Meitei police officer in non combat duty, a cowardly act widely covered by media.
❗️On Tuesday, Moreh SDPO Ch Anand was killed by a Sniper shot from #KukiMilitants while overseeing cleaning of Helipad landing ground #JusticeForSDPOAnand. The Militants then ambushed the reinforcement team, injuring 3 policemen.
❗️Yesterday, Manipur Govt declared Kuki Zo Intellectual Council an unlawful association/organization for inciting violence for calling upon #ChinKuki youths to go war against Manipur. Same should be done for Kuki Inpi.
Dear @AmitShah@Spearcorps@adgpi@AmitShahOffice we riterate time to end these #NarcoTerrorists with kids gloves. Time to end this nuisance once and for all. #SaveMeitei #SaveManipur
❗️Seal the border, cut the supply line from their country cousin Myanmar based #ChinTerrorists, flush out the #narcoterrorists wipe out the #PoppyCultivation nab the #IllegalImmigrants and send them back to Myanmar.
❗️Let's find a permanent solution to #ManipurViolence once and for all.
❗️It may be noted that #Chin #Kuki have been strongly protesting the deployment of @manipur_police
in the area, the gateway of their country cousin Chin #IllegalImmigrants from Myanmar. In last few days, the Police had nabbed several of these #IllegalImmigrants .
❗️This has been a pattern of #Manipur_Violence, relative calm and then a provocation or fresh firing and trigger a new cycle of violence.

As a part of my mission “ONE VOICE ONE SLOGAN to remove Chin Kuki Narco terrorists and Illegal immigrants from Entire India “ , I took part in the meeting organised by Khangabok Joint co ordinating committee , khangabok at Kangabok Community Hall
. My mission is to unify all the people of this country against the Chin Kuki Narco Terrorists and illegal immigrats. I urge everyone to unite against them.
With immense pleasure I would like to say that all the beloved Khangbok citizens have promised to stand together .
Let us unite. Unity is the only means. I urge every indigenous community to come forward and fight our common enemy.
#Kuki_ZoNarcoterrorist is well proof now .
They are one who have to investigate than only Manipur will be peaceful Indian state.
Thanks to @Spearcorps for late action but ok ok type even though it's late
If this would be taken earlier than state could be under control .Go on.
This is not Israel 🇮🇱 or Palestine 🇵🇸 .
This is Manipur.
It’s more than dropping 5,000 missiles.
When are you going to speak up for the justice of Manipur?
#Israel#IsraelUnderAttack
I am surprised that threats to one human rights activist got @UNHumanRights all rallied up. Right though your objection maybe. But the threats to the life of humans in Manipur over the last five-months, and more recently young students & youth who were attacked by security forces for demanding justice for the murder of two youths has been lost to your human rights organisation. You seemed to be concerned about the Kuki lives as in your last press note but Meitei are also humans, they have rights too. This is not majority minority clash or a Hindu or Christian clash but a conflict ignited by terror groups from Myanmar & Bangladesh controlled by the narcotics trade funded by China.
It doesn’t look like they were triggered by the incident. They don’t care about human rights( concerned to Meitei’s). If they had, then they would have spoken earlier. Their aim was to put the spotlight on Meitei Leepun and Arambai Tengol using Babloo as catalyst which Chin-Kuki groups @ITLFMedia_Cell@COTU_Kangpokpi@Kuki_Inpi have been trying and failed miserably. Now chin-Kuki have activated their UN @UNHumanRights@UNHumanRights@UNICEF card.
Not trying to justify said acts by the two groups !!!
#Kuki people are Crying after hearing this News. Indian Air force Please Do it very quickly and swiftly thank you Jai hind #IndianAirForce@ITLFMedia_Cell
