Manipur was given to us by our forefathers, not by India: Meitei Leepun chief Pramot Singh

Meitei Leepun chief Pramot Singh says that sacking CM Biren Singh will send a message to the Meiteis that Indian government has backed the Kukis to defeat Meiteis. The Meiteis will also protest against the President’s Rule as it’s a demand by the Kukis.

In this blow-by-blow account, peace activist Harsh Mander describes his journey to Manipur, where he met Meitei and Kuki families broken by three months of ethnic violence, life inside the camps where hundreds live in despair, unsure if they will ever return to their scorched villages, and the “extreme culpability” of a seemingly partisan state that has done little to help the minority Christians who have been killed and uprooted in greater numbers.

Telegraph India - Tipping point

Tipping point

The violence in Manipur exhibits two symptoms-- The impunity with which Meitei mobs have been allowed to loot police armouries and the instrumental use of rape to announce the end of Kuki citizenship, writes Mukul Kesavan.
