Who are they demanding peace from? Did they call for CM to step down? Did they call for President rule under Articles 355, 356? Did they demand Army be immediately deployed with clear instructions? All else is just optics. #Manipur_violence #ManipurRiots #ManipurIsBurning
They are not demanding peace. They are calling for further oppression and persecution of Kuki-Zo tribals. Such optics will only add fuel to ongoing #Manipur_violence Not once did they ask for CM to step down or President rule under Articles 355, 356. Army is still not deployed.
They are shouting NO to #SeparateAdministration4Kuki_Zo
Asking for NRC. Basically demanding that #kuki tribals be thrown out of their own land. This demonstration is motivated and appears to have government backing.

The Kukis had been taking advantage of their location in the hills & blocking critical supplies from reaching the #Meiteis in the Imphal Valley ever since the #ManipurViolence started.

This has led to severe lack of essential items like fuel, food & life saving medicines. (2/4) Image
Shortage of supplies & blackmarketing have led to skyrocketing prices. 1 kg. Rice costs about 150 Rs., a litre of Diesel costs upto 250 Rs.
The humane measures taken to reduce the suffering of innocent civilians have been severely opposed by do called Kuki Students' Union. (3/4) Image

Long Thread:

Life is limping back to #Manipur but not yet completely normal. Intellects are busy giving all kind of futile advices to Govt because they fail to understand that MEITEIS TOO HAVE RIGHTS.

I need to take you back to history to make understand better.

Ready?

Today #Manipur is MADE to sit on Volcano. Who is responsible? Has it happened in last few years or decades?

NO!! It is a grievous outcome of Nehruvian folly of outsourcing North-east to Missionaries!

A beautiful State is brought on verge of collapse by historical sins!!

Not only #Manipur, but entire North-east has been a victim of Verrier Elwin’s conspiracy to keep region into “ISOLATION”, to allow Missionaries harvest their souls with Rice-bags. Those who didn't relent....were forcibly uprooted and pushed away from National Mainstream.
