03rd August, 2024

MEMORANDUM SUBMITTED TO SHRI NARENDRA MODI, HON'BLE PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA BY THE10-KUKI-ZOMI - HMAR MEMBERS OF MANIPUR LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLE (MLAS) ON THE 2nd AUGUST 2024, ON CENTRAL GOVERNMENT DECISION TO WITHDRAW THE 9th AND 22nd BATTALIONS, ASSAM RIFLES (AR) BY REPLACING WITH CENTRAL RESERVE POLICE FORCE (CRPF)

Hon'ble Sir,

We, the 10-Kuki-Zomi-Hmar MLAs would like to draw your kind attention to the matter highlighted above while fervently requesting your benign intervention;

1. That, we have come to learn that there is a plan to withdraw 9thBn and 22nd Battalion of the Assam Rifles from their current sensitive deployment at Kangvai and Kangpokpi, following pressure from the communally biased elements in the State Government who leave no stone unturned to portray the AR in a bad light just for the simple reason that the AR stood tall to serve as perhaps the finest neutral force so far.

2. That, it is pertinent to cite that the un-biased service of the Assam Rifles in the fringe areas has been obviously instrumental in prevention of further escalation of violence till date. The role played by AR so far in maintenance of Law and Order is absolutely neutral.

3. This unwholesome decision to replace the aforementioned AR Battalions with CRPF at this critical

*juncture is nothing but a sinister design to expedite the Meitei majoritarian ethnic cleansing campaign against the Kuki Zomi Hmar community.*

4. To maintain the current status-quo particularly in the Buffer-Zones separating the Meitei and Kuki, Zomi, Hmar communities, the undaunted and unbiased presence of the Assam Rifles is highly indispensable at this stage.

5. Under the prevailing circumstances, in any eventuality of the 9th and 22nd Bn.AR to be shifted out specifically, it is vehemently appealed that they may be replaced by other Battalions of the Assam Rifles.

*Hence, in all fairness of things, we carnestly request your intervention for cither withdrawalor rectification the decision in the best interest of justice.*

Yours Sincerely
