Manipur violence: Journalist Hoihnu Hauzel's residence burnt into ashes
Lamka, June 18: “Tragic:
Fellow journalist @hoihnu who was on my show on Manipur last night had
her house in Imphal burnt and fully gutted on May 4. Her parents live in a
colony not too far away from CM’s residence: they had to flee on May 3 as the
armed mob targeted homes in the colony. Her father Dr H Kamkhenthang is a
leading anthropologist who has tracked the tribes of Manipur, all his books are
burnt: Every right thinking Indian shares your agony my friend,” tweeted

2 Kerala MP visits strife-torn Manipur
Manipur Government has sided with one community, supporting criminals: Kerala Congress MPs
Two Congress MPs Hybi Eden and Deen Kuriakose from Kerala visited Manipur to take stock of the current situation. Their visit was made secretly due to the restrictions imposed on Congress delegation in riot-affected areas. After their visit, the MPs concluded that the state government has sided with only one community, and supporting the miscreants.

According to the MPs, Manipur has become like a warzone. “We visited a few camps and met innocent people who lost their family members. Many are in hospitals. People are suffering there due to the lack of medicines. We met some students, who have been separated from their parents and have no clue about their education. The state government has failed to address these issues. Manipur is burning for more than a month now. What action has the Biren Singh government taken to deal with these issues?” said Hydi Eden and Deen Kuriakose.

“We visited Saint Paul’s Pastoral Centre in Imphal. A day before our visit, there was a massive attack against St.Joseph School which is functioning in the same campus. A group of people hurled bombs at the school and stones were pelted too. The school is a temporary camp of RPF. The attack continued for more than 4 hours.”
“The minorities are unsafe here and are accusing the state government and Manipur police of siding with only one community. Thousands of houses of the people have been burned down, which has rendered them helpless and clueless about their future. Now this issue is not only of Manipur but a humanitarian crisis for everyone.”
‘’Manipur is being ruled by brutality. We were told that weapons, including guns, were given to one group to attack the other. We saw people queuing for hours in front of ATMs despite living in Digital India. There is no internet in the state for more than 40 days. Despite terming this as an ethnic riot, many Christian churches were destroyed. Even the Christian churches and institutions of the Meithei sect were set on fire.’’

“We did not inform anyone of our visit and went there as regular visitors. We will meet the Prime Minister, the Home Minister, and Congress High Command to brief the real story of Manipur.’’- the MPs said.

Manipur violence: 7-year-old boy, mother, relative burnt alive in ambulance
All three victims had taken shelter at an Assam Rifles camp in
Kangchup, around 15km west of Imphal, since May 3 when clashes broke out
between the two communities
Devadeep Purohit Calcutta Published 07.06.23, 05:25 AM
The deaths were
reported earlier in sections of the media but more details started emerging
only on Tuesday.
The dead have been
identified as Tonsing Hangsing, 7, his mother Meena Hangsing, 45, a Meitei
Christian married to a Kuki, and their relative Lydia Lourembam, 37, also a
Meitei Christian.
They had earlier been
injured in firing by rioters at the Assam Rifles camp where they and many Kukis
were staying.
Sunday’s mob attack on
Meitei Christians buttresses claims that a longstanding ethnic rivalry —
between the majority and mostly Hindu Meiteis and the tribal and overwhelmingly
Christian Kukis — has descended into religious-communal strife under the
state’s six-year-old BJP government.
All three victims had
taken shelter at an Assam Rifles camp in Kangchup, around 15km west of Imphal,
since May 3 when clashes broke out between the two communities over the
Meiteis’ demand for Scheduled Tribe status, which the ST Kukis oppose.
“We have been facing a
lot of atrocities from the Meitei community since May 3, but Sunday’s incident
was the worst,” said Paolenlal Hangsing, a relative of the dead who had seen
them off when the ambulance left the Assam Rifles camp for the Regional
Institute of Medical Sciences and Hospital, Imphal.
“The bodies were
charred… only some bones could be found in the ashes,” Paolenlal, a
schoolteacher, said.
He said he had not
accompanied the trio in the ambulance because he was a Kuki and the vehicle was
to pass through Meitei-dominated areas.
“Meena and Lydia are
Christians but as they belong to the Meitei community, we thought they would
not be attacked. But even they were not spared,” said Paolenlal, who has been
staying at a school building, near the Assam Rifles camp in Kangchup, that has
been converted into a relief camp for Kukis.
While the government
of chief minister and BJP leader N. Biren Singh, whom many Kukis accuse of
inflaming Meitei-tribal relations with his policies, claims to be toiling to
restore peace, questions have been raised over the police’s role during and
after the violence.
“No one from the police
has contacted me — I am too scared to go to the police station,” a distraught
Joshua Hangsing, who lost his wife and son in the ambulance attack, told The
Telegraph over the phone.
Joshua, who is yet to
receive the bodies, has since the ambulance attack been living with relatives
in Keithelmanbi, a Kuki-dominated village.
This correspondent
tried to contact DGP Rajiv Singh, ADG (law and order) L. Kailun, and the
security adviser to the chief minister, Kuldeep Singh, for information about
Sunday’s incident and the action taken by the government. None of them
responded to the calls or text messages.
Sources in the Assam
Rifles and the Rapid Action Force (RAF), both central paramilitary forces,
provided accounts of Sunday’s atrocity that invite the question whether the
police did enough to protect the family when it was attacked near Iroisemba, an
area under the Lamphel police station in Imphal West district. It’s a
Meitei-dominated area about 5km from Imphal City.
“Several Kuki families
have been living in our camp. This leads to occasional firing from outside,
targeting areas where the Kukis have been living. On Sunday, three people,
including the child, were injured in one such attack,” a senior Assam Rifles
officer said.
Following the standard
operating procedure, the camp officials got in touch with Ibomcha Singh, the
Imphal West SP, and urged him to arrange to take the victims to an Imphal
hospital.
A preliminary report
sent to the Assam Rifles headquarters indicates that the bullet injuries were
reported at 16.03pm, following which the victims were given first aid at the
camp, and that the SP was informed at 16.20pm.
The ambulance left the
compound with the patients and a nurse under the SP’s supervision at 17.16pm.
None from the Assam Rifles, which has often faced attacks from Meitei rioters,
accompanied the ambulance lest there be trouble on the way to Imphal.
“The SP, who was with
the ambulance, called one of our seniors at 17.31pm and informed us about an
attack on the ambulance by a mob. He said there was a major law-and-order
problem,” an Assam Rifles source said.
What happened next was
narrated by an RAF source, who said the SP had called a senior RAF officer and
sought immediate reinforcements to tackle “a law-and-order situation
surrounding an ambulance”.
“Responding to the
call, a large contingent left for the area. But it returned to the barracks
after the SP called again to say that the situation was under control,” the RAF
source said.
Sources in the Assam
Rifles and the RAF said they learnt later on Sunday evening that the ambulance
had been set on fire in front of the SP and three people had died. The driver
and the nurse apparently fled the spot.
“The incident is
surprising — we had never before come across any attack on medical facilities
or ambulances since being stationed in Imphal to tackle the situation here,” an
RAF source said.
Repeated calls and
text messages to Ibomcha Singh yielded no response.
Sources in the Manipur
government said that senior officials of the police and civil administrations
were busy in meetings throughout Tuesday. During the day, the newly appointed
chief secretary held a videoconference with senior officials to assess the situation.
Government sources
have been claiming that the situation is moving towards normality following the
visit by Union home minister Amit Shah — who has appealed to all to surrender
arms and maintain peace — and the constitution of a judicial commission to
probe the violence. But many ordinary people disagree.
“The situation hasn’t
improved; the mistrust and the hate between the communities has only gone up. I
don’t know where we are heading,” said L. Otsei Khongsai, principal of the
Manger English School, Kangchup, where seven-year-old Tonsing was a Class I
student.
While the official
death toll from the 34-day-old unrest is 98, unofficial estimates put the
figure higher.
Manipur violence: MZP urged AMMA to fulfil its responsibility
AIZAWL, JUNE 15: Today, the Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP) General Headquarters in Aizawl held a meeting with the All Mizoram Manipuri Association (AMMA) at their headquarters to discuss the suffering of the Kuki-Zomi-Mizo people in Manipur. The meeting was chaired by MZP President Pu Lalnunmawia Pautu, while the six-member AMMA delegation was led by their President Pu Wahengbam Gopeshore. AMMA explained the contents of their memorandum to the President of India through the Mizoram Governor, and both groups discussed the initiatives they have taken.
MZP and AMMA resolved that the Meitei leadership should take all necessary steps to alleviate the suffer
ing of the Kuki-Zomi-Mizo tribals in Manipur and should also meet with the Union Home Minister and the Chief Minister of Manipur.
MZP urged AMMA to fulfil its responsibility as a Manipuri organization in the ongoing conflict in Manipur, stating, "It is very difficult for us to simply watch the suffering of our people (Kuki-Zomi-Mizo) in Manipur while you enjoy freedom and security in our own state, Mizoram. You must take initiative directed towards a better outcome, as the worst thing can also happen to you. In order to prevent the same thing that is being done to the Zo people (Mizo-Kuki-Zomi) in Manipur from happening to you in Mizoram, you must promptly do whatever you can to de-escalate the situation." The MZP added, "We will monitor your undertakings."
The meeting concluded by deciding to brief and analyse the initiatives of the All Mizoram Manipuri Association in the near future.
It is important to note that Manipur has been riling under ethnic unrest since May 3 where Zo-Kuki people including ethnic Mizos have been targetted in Manipur. Although it has been portrayed as a Kuki-meitei conflict, All Zo tribes including the tiny Mizo Minority in Imphal has been terrorised with their properties looted and vanadlaized. According to sources from Mizos that fled from Imphal, the attack on the Zo people began on May 3 and was also carried out to Mizo establishment and people in Imphal since May 4, all Mizos in Imphal has fled the state.

Manipur Violence: Old Woman Shot Dead inside Church while Praying
Indigenous
Tribal Leaders’ Forum (ITLF)
Conglomerate of Recognised Tribes in
Lamka District, Manipur
Thursday, 15th June 2023
On 14th June, the Coordination Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI) issued a statement valorizing the “Supreme sacrifices” of supposed Meitei “volunteers” who had died in the attacks on Kuki Zo villages like H. Khopibung, Khamenlok, Chullouphai, P. Phainom, Aigejang, Thambol, Jordanphai, Songjang and Govajang in Kangpokpi district over the past 3 days. All it takes is a simple search in Google map to know that the villages are tribal Kuki Zo villages with the nearest Meitei village at least a few kilometres away. This then begs the question, how did those supposedly ‘innocent civilians’ die in a tribal Kuki Zo village? The only logical conclusion is that they were part of the constant attacks on the tribal villages in the area. Village Defence Volunteers have no option but to defend themselves when attacks are made on their villages.
The COCOMI had already declared a proxy war on the alleged “Chin Kuki Narco terrorism” on 7 th June as propaganda to mobilize Meitei mobs and justify the unending attacks on Kuki Zo villages. This goes in line with open threats of genocide against the Kuki Zo tribals made by Pramot Singh, chief of Meitei Leepun on National Television! Enough evidence has already been made public of the complicity of the state in allowing these radical groups to have a free reign on the people. The Central Armed Forces have been doing their best to establish peace by creating buffer zones between Meitei and Kuki Zo tribal areas. However, it has been reported that large Meitei mobs, numbering in the thousands, and consisting of a large number of Women (Meira Paibis) blocked the central forces from reinforcing the affected areas of conflict while those villages were attacked.
Today marks the end of the 15 day call for peace made by the Union Home Minister Amit Shah during visit to Manipur. Far from complying with the requests of the Union Minister, there has been a heightened second wave of attacks on Kuki Zo villages in Sugnu Kangchup and Khopibung areas. The tribal population will never feel safe as long as the communal state and its radical agents are allowed to freely terrorize Kuki Zo villages. There is an urgent need to provide security to the Kuki Zo tribal villages from the unending incursions by Meitei militants. The ITLF reiterates the need for the immediate imposition of President’s Rule in the state in order to create conditions for peace and dialogue.
The institutional oppression of the Kuki Zo tribals is clearly in the current crisis insensitive orders issued by various state institutions concerning the resumption of classes for college students, attendance of offices for government servants, etc knowing fully that the only thing that the Kuki Zo tribals had been hunted down and ‘ from the valley. Those who survived the May Massacre are left with just their bare clothes and the scarred memories of their loved ones being killed in the open streets. All that awaits the tribals in the valley is death and even more oppression. This has necessitated the total separation of administration of the Kuki Zo tribals from Manipur. This is the only solution that safeguards and protects the lives of the tribals from the oppression of the state of Manipur, and ensure lasting peace in the region.

The Gorkha Regiment stationed nearby learned of the attack and came to the rescue of the villages. The Meiteimilitants are suspected to be a combination of the Arambai Tenggol members and surrendered militants of Valley-based Underground Groups.
Surprisingly, some Imphal valley-based newspapers allegedly reported that the deceased woman is suspected to be a "sniper-shooter of Kuki militants".
