The recent interview of Lt. Gen. P.C. Nair (Retd), former DG of #AssamRifles, to a news channel alludes to the malaise that this oldest paramilitary force in the country suffers from and the utter lack of coordination of the security agencies, including the Union Armed forces, and their concomitant failure to rein in the 15 months old unprecedented violence in Manipur.
To cite one example, his versions on the recent escalation of violence in the state (starting on 1st September, 2024) is different from that of the State Police official statements clearly points to that sheer lack of coordination among the security forces and their consequent failure to rein in the 15 months long violence in Manipur. Contradicting the widely circulated reports, eyewitness accounts and official statements from the Home Department and State police, he seems to dismiss the claim that there were aerial assaults using rockets/missiles as well as weaponized drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Incidentally, one "Kuki" leader has admitted, rather boastfully, in the media, that they have used such weapons to attack civilians and security forces.
This interview of the former DG of Assam Rifles also reminds us that his version is of a man who once headed the paramilitary force sans its operational command - to the best of my knowledge, the operational command of the Assam Rifles does not rest with the DG of the Assam Rifle, a post Lt. Gen Nair (Retd.) was in charge till recently but it's with the regular army under the GOC 3 Corps.
This interview, unfortunately, comes to me as a PR exercise to cover up the failure to rein in the violence and reports of impropriety associated with Assam Rifles. Our generals and civilian officers must know that lack of trust deficit is an issue that we must tackle so that state institutions, including forces like Assam Rifles, are not harmed. Being defensive or seeking to deflect or cover up shortcomings helps no one.
It is also instructive that he says that the security forces can rein in the violence, quite obviously which has not been the case so far, but the ultimate solution is with the "people"! This is quite revealing as most of the security officers usually say that the ultimate solution lies with the political leadership or political executive! This reluctance to name the political executive is, to say the least, quite instructive to understand the what, how, why and wherefore of this prolonged violent crisis in the state of Manipur.

Kuki atrocities killed an innocent Manipur state force :
Chingtham Anand , the sub divisional police officer (SDPO) of moreh , Manipur was killed by ambush of kuki Militants with long range arms . The sorrowful incident happened when the SDPO team was cleaning their helipad
There have been colossal and violent clashes or riots, some even termed as 'pogrom' and 'genocide', between Hindus and Muslims or Hindus and Sikhs or between castes in this country. But how many of you have heard people preaching and justifying any statement that these groups of people cannot 'live together' because of those instances of terrible violence?
Or people being shifted to form and justify community specific ghettos to normalise the violence?
Say no to communal harangue!
Say no to communal and sectarian politics!

"Still remember this?... aren't you supposed to understand the KukiZos' sentiment the best? Yet you are..."!
What a veiled threat!? You are special my dear!
Sir, What about your own state Manipur? You don’t have any sympathy for the people of Manipur but how your heart goes to Israel? Terrorists from Myanmar are attacking India for the last 5 months and killed over 200 innocent people and over 1,00,000 people displaced. Over 40,000 children are out of school since May. How long are you going to silent?
We want justice for Manipur!!!

Mark T Haokip's arrest by the police revealed that he is the self style president of Kukiland formed in 2019.That means kuki have planned for the separate homeland way back in 2019 So May 3rd incident is not related to ST but part of their plan for separate homeland #SaveMeitei
'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.
