PM spoke one word on Manipur violence
During this, the National President of IYC Srinivas Biwi raised the question and said that the Prime Minister can travel in the metro. You can hold election rallies in Madhya Pradesh, you can bring down the government in Maharashtra, but Manipur has been burning for almost 60 days. He neither speaks a word about this violence nor visits Manipur. He does not even appeal for peace there. Why?
He said that instead of extinguishing the fire of hatred in the state, when will the BJP government of Manipur sitting with folded hands be dismissed? When will President's rule be imposed there?
Let us tell you that violence between the Meitei and Kuki communities has been going on in Manipur since the month of May. The state and the central government are on the target of the opposition regarding this matter.
Since when is Manipur burning
On May 3, All Tribal Students Union Manipur (ATSUM) took out 'Tribal Unity March'. This rally was taken out in Torbang area of Churchandpur.
During this rally, a violent clash took place between tribals and non-tribals. Police fired tear gas shells to disperse the crowd.
By the evening of May 3, the situation worsened so much that the state government sought help from the Centre. Later, companies of Army and Paramilitary forces were deployed there.
- This rally was taken out against the demand of Scheduled Tribe status of the Meitei community. The Meitei community has been demanding Scheduled Tribe (ST) status for a long time.
On April 20, an order was given by the Acting Chief Justice of the Manipur High Court, MV Muraleedharan. In this, the state government was asked to consider the demand of giving tribe status to the Meitei community. For this, the High Court has given four weeks time to the government.
After this order of Manipur High Court, the Naga and Kuki tribe communities were enraged. He took out Adivasi Ekta March on 3rd May
Why are Meiteis demanding tribal status?
The population of Meitei community in Manipur is more than 53 percent. These are non-tribal communities, mostly Hindus. At the same time, the population of Kuki and Naga is around 40 percent.
Despite having such a large population in the state, the Meitei community can settle only in the valley. More than 90 percent of Manipur's area is hilly. Only 10 percent is the valley.
The hilly areas are dominated by the Naga and Kuki communities and the Meitei in the valley. There is a law in Manipur. Under this, the people of the Meitei community settled in the valley cannot settle in the hilly areas nor can they buy land. But Kukis and Nagas of tribal communities settled in hilly areas can also settle in the valley and buy land too.
The whole issue is that more than 53 percent of the population can live in only 10 percent of the area, but 40 percent of the population dominates more than 90 percent of the area.
