Lack of genuine, committed political leadership led to Manipur violence
The ethnic conflict in the Manipur state is due to a “lack of genuine political leadership. The ethnic crisis in Manipur was a result of a lack of true political leadership.
The ruling ruling BJP flanked by other leaders, due to that it is prioritising party interests a particular community over the welfare of all the people.
Raising serious concerns over the deteriorating law and order situation in Kangpokpi district and overall misgovernance in Manipur, it is necessary to hold the establishment accountable for creating mess as the state’s security machinery failed to forecast, plan and execute the public sagety agenda.
It is the incompetence of the Director General of Police and the Security Advisor to the government in handling the situation.
Despite a mob attacking the office of the Superintendent of Police in Kangpokpi district on January 3, leaving SP Manoj Prabhakar injured. This is unfortunate,that no action was taken against the attackers.
The recent killing of a village volunteer belonging to the Meitei community by security forces and the subsequent arrests of many people defending their communities. The security forces actions appeared to be partial and biased. They totally failed to deal with the growing unrest.
The ongoing blockade of National Highway (NH-2) by some organisations and despite a large number of security forces operating in the state, no action was being taken against them. In the result a proxy war has been going on in Manipur.
There was widespread corruption in the state and that the people were forced to pay exorbitant amounts for government jobs. It is against Prime Miniter Narendra Modi's mantra, "Khayengey Nahi, Khaney Dngey Nahi"
The people of Manipur have grown accustomed to corruption as normal, which prevents any progress. He pointed out that the dependence of the people on Ministers and MLAs has created a situation where trust in leadership is virtually non-existent.
Meanwhile, the Committee on Tribal Unity (CoTU) has temporarily lifted its indefinite economic blockade on the National Highway (NH-2) and the 24-hour shutdown in Sadar Hills, Kangpokpi.
This decision follows an agreement with authorities regarding the deployment of the CRPF personnel in the Saibol region of Lhungtin Subdivision in Kangpokpi district.
The CoTU has issued a warning that if the remaining Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) units are not withdrawn from Kuki-Zo community inhabited areas within 48 hours, they will initiate more aggressive protests.
