Meitei Alliance condemns 10 MLAs from Manipur (representing a faction of Kuki and related communities) who, on August 2, 2024, wrote a letter to India\u2019s Prime Minister accusing the Home Minister of a \u201csinister design\u201d to “ethnic cleansing campaign” against their communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The letter challenges the Home Ministry\u2019s authority in internal security matters, such as the relocation of two Assam Rifles from Manipur to elsewhere for counter-insurgency operations. This was a decision taken by military planners in the best interests of India\u2019s internal security. However, the Kuki MLAs in their hour of brinkmanship have defamed and maligned the Home Ministry by saying it acted on the pressure of Manipur government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These 10 MLAs, who have been misleading their communities for a long time, now in desperation, are speaking lies. How can any responsible legislature in India say that the Government of India would relocate \/ withdraw security force to enable genocide within the country? As the two AR battalions would be replaced by the CRPF, they questioned the efficiency of the latter in such a manner that it amounts to portrayal of the force as a sectarian communal force deployed with a \u201csinister design\u201d against their communities. The MLAs\u2019 accusations are defamatory, anti-national, derogatory, and meant to malign India\u2019s security establishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meitei Alliance acknowledges and appreciates the recent efforts to bring peace in Manipur by making the Cachar agreement between the Meitei and the Hmar communities in Jiribam district which unfortunately was broken by arson attacks on Meitei houses. We implore the 10 Kuki MLAs to take actions that could bring peace to the state instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
