Manipur government has submitted its authority to armed militia: ITLF

The Hindu  

GUWAHATI The Indigenous Tribal Leaders’ Forum has slammed the Union and Manipur governments for letting the Arambai Tenggol, a Meitei “armed militant group”, to dictate terms to the State’s MPs and MLAs. On Wednesday, two MPs and MLAs from the Meitei-dominated Imphal Valley assembled at the historic Kangla Fort in Imphal, the State capital, after the Arambai Tenggol summoned them there to pledge to protect Manipur’s integrity. Oath-taking ceremony “Manipur State police and Central security forces remained mute spectators as Arambai Tenggol leader Korounganba Khuman arrived at the venue in Imphal in a police vehicle, and the militant group proceeded to administer an oath-taking ceremony to the MLAs,” the ITLF said in a statement, labelling the Meitei group as a “militia” that led the attacks on the Kuki-Zomi tribal people in Manipur. Wednesday’s events showed that the Manipur government has submitted its authority to an armed militia, said the forum, which primarily represents the Kuki-Zomi people.
