@Bimol_Akoijam In 1969, pre-Manipur statehood, the ARC (Adminitrative Reorganisation Commission) recommended Separate Administration for #Kukis and #Nagas in the form of AD (Autonomous District). Early recognition that distinct administration was needed for the hill-dwelling tribals.

@ManipurTalks CM N Biren S should be charged under those articles as well. The CM has been exposed as promoting "ethnicity-driven disinformation" by Lt Gen HS Panag (retd). He has labelled Kukis as well foreigners, illegals, outsiders. If that is not promoting enmity --- please tell me what

After initially failing to depict the #ManipurViolence as a conflict solely between "Kuki terrorists" and security forces, the Manipur CM, who many view as the main architect of the current situation, continuously amuse us with new attempts to "rationalize" the violence.

@jeegujja When the police themselves are involved in committing violence against tribals, it's very highly unlikely for them to file FIR, let alone probe, the heinous act. If they try to probe the incident, they might even face backlash from their community.
