At the end, we are facing flak from every side, says a senior officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity
Citing an example, another official referred to an incident at Sugnu, a small town at the southern tip of Kakching, where an officer of the rank of a Colonel of the Indian Army was roughed up by Manipur Police personnel.
The entire incident was caught on camera in which a junior police officer, wearing an undershirt, cocked his rifle in anger at the Army officer, who had come to complain about digging of an entire road in front his camp by miscreants.
The digging of roads was done to ensure that vehicles of Assam Rifles could be prevented from moving out in case an armed clash takes place in the vicinity which houses both sides of warring communities.
Reading that last line
The digging of roads was done to ensure that vehicles of Assam Rifles could be prevented from moving out in case an armed clash takes place in the vicinity which houses both sides of warring communities.
and learning that Manipur Police supported those who dug up the roads is enough to understand that the entire state machinery, police & administration & politicians, wanted & supported the violence on ordinary Manipuris,
hey bhagwaan
BJP’s tribal MLA of Manipur Paolienlal Haokip has alleged “complicity of the state” in the ethnic violence. Sab state & central govt ka kiya dhara hai. There’s a good reason Modi is quiet about it.
no doubt
adding to it are the fake news floating about in social media. Each one trying to incite anger & violence. I put an example up at https://kbin.social/m/india/t/254001/Fake-news-alert
Either the state is still fanning the flames or they have lost control of their extremists.
