Manipur – Will the Central Government Stand In the Witness-Box Please?
A victim in a Meitei relief camp in Imphal, who lost her family members during the ethnic tensions between Meiteis and Kukis in Manipur, that has lasted for 18 months since May, 2023 told me – “Imagine two kids fighting, will the father or mother not step-in to stop the fight? Now imagine the children actually killing each other – will the parents still not step-in to prevent the violence? Then why is the Central government not stepping in to stop Manipur state from burning?”
