Tribal forum calls for President’s rule in Manipur amid violence against Kuki-Zo ethnic group

The Hindu  

Members of the Joint Unau Tribal Forum, Hyderabad, demanded immediate imposition of President’s rule in Manipur in the context of rampant violence against the ethnic Kuki-Zo tribal group. Besides taking over law and order in the hilly state, the Centre should dismiss the government of Manipur which has failed to control violence for the past month, demanded members of the forum during a protest demonstration held at Dharna Chowk near Indira Park on Saturday. Recalling the spate of violence over the month which did not spare even high-ranking government officials and elected Kuki-Zo representatives, the forum said what had started as ethnic cleansing in Imphal, is transforming into an open civil war, with complicity of the State government. A time-bound dialogue must be expeditiously initiated to consider and accommodate the popularly supported demand of the 10 Kuki-Zo members of the Manipur Legislative Assembly for a separate administration, as the violence has resulted in complete physical and emotional separation between the Kuki-Zo and Meitei groups, the statement said.
