The current situation in Manipur is very heartbreaking, and it shows a complete failure of law and order in the state. The illegal immigrants are posing a serious threat to national security all over India, and Manipur couldn’t be unaffected by it.
The Native Meitei community, which constitutes around 54% of the total population and has contributed a lot to Manipur and India as a whole, is facing a serious threat due to demography change induced by illegal migrants from Myanmar.
The Hill Tribes especially the Kukis enjoying the ST status despite their conversion to Christianity is constitutionally suspect. The Govt should immediately constitute a committee to correct such wrongs and take a decision on inclusion of Meitie in the ST list as soon as possible.
Ekam Sanatan Bharat Dal stands firmly with the Meitei community and their long standing demand of their inclusion in the list of ST communities. Even the Hon’ble Manipur High Court has also issued a positive direction in this regard.
However, we condemn the violence and expect that justice shall be delivered to all the affected people within a reasonable time frame.
