Dear #Kukis , In India, the law says that even if there's no dead body or it's impossible to identify burnt remains, someone can still be charged and found guilty of murder if strong evidence shows that a murder happened. The Supreme Court has looked at English court decisions

Pure #PoppyLogic Audio 1. Mr Min claims CBI and NIA "kidnapped" the suspects. And according to him they cannot pick up suspects before the bodies are found. 😂 Audio 2 & 3. Then enters Ms @kim_ngaihte , an LOC expert who justifies the punishment or the killing of Linthoingambi

A #Meitei girl assaulted by #Kuki hostel mates in Mangaluru college. Incident on CCTV. Matter solved, but victim feels unsafe,TOI reports. It's news, not lies. Kuki elders should teach their wards that violence is not the answer. #SaveManipur

@vijaita Don't attempt to villainise the students. You don’t live there, and you cannot fully grasp the precarious lives they are forced to lead now!

#Meiteis have achieved remarkable feats, yet the deafening silence from the nation and er Bollywood at large is both perplexing and disheartening. While Meiteis tirelessly contribute to the progress of the country, the spotlight seems to be swayed towards the #Kukis , who advocate

So, according to your unique logic, because there is a buffer zone, killing becomes a birth right? Last time I checked, buffer zone wasn't a euphemism for a hunting license. #Kuki intellectuals and their logic. Disturbing news of four innocent #Meitei civilians, including

There is a 'buffer zone' maintained by the central forces during this time of crisis and crossing this zone intentionally is the problem currently. The Manipur Security Advisor Kuldiep Singh has clarified this morning that no evidence of Myanmar-based militants involved in Moreh.

In other related news, Australia, known for its tough-as-nails quarantine rules, still rolls out the red carpet for our ngari, the essence of Meitei food. We (ngari & I) are just amazing.

And in a stark contrast, just seen this widely shared video of #Kukis cooking dog meat in celebration of the deaths of 13 #Meiteis . How humanity navigates in Kuki minds leaves us questioning: what else can we expect? The whatabouteries will pile on after this tweet. Sorry,

Young Ngangom Nevy went missing since May 28, 2023 & his decomposed beheaded body was retrieved by officials on Wednesday. Is there still hope for the missing and murdered #Meiteis since May? Rest assured, we refuse to let their stories fade into silence. #Manipur #KukiAtrocities
