DC Edit | Govt must stop Manipur drift now or face trouble

Deccan Chronicle  

The grist of the Indian Constitution, or for that matter the constitution of all democratic counties, is the protection of the weak against injustice perpetrated by the mighty, whether it is between the citizen and the state or between various individuals or sections of the population. The people of Manipur, a state of the Indian Union, have been denied the rights the Constitution confers on them for quite some time now. And the ground realities have not yet improved even the slightest bit despite the Supreme Court stating in a loud and clear voice on August 1 last year that “there is an absolute breakdown of the state machinery in Manipur”. The latest series of violent incidents, which started off with the murder of a woman and then a retaliatory murder last week, culminating in the Central Reserve Police Force troops gunning down 11 armed militants on Monday, would convince anyone who has a stake in the running of the country, except for the governments in the state and at the Centre, that the people of the state deserve much better. The Constitution and the laws that are supposed to govern life must find their foothold in Manipur; we can no longer afford the people there being subjected to the most grotesque injustices.
