Manipur's Explosive Arsenal: Unmasking the Deadly Violence & Drones | The News9 Plus Show

The Manipur violence has continued since May 2023. That’s over a year old. Over 200 people have died and more than 60,000 persons have been displaced. But what differentiates this prolonged phase of unrest from all others is the ordnance being used. Over 2,000 assault rifles and hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition are still missing. Adding to that is the new and worrying prospect of mobile artillery like home made drones dropping grenades and firing rockets into civilian areas. Manipur is on fire. Could it spread across India? Join News9 Plus Editor Sandeep Unnithan with colleague Kartikeya Sharma; Lt General Sanjay Kulkarni, former DG Infantry; and PK Mishra, former Inspector General of Police in Manipur, as they discuss what it will take to demilitarise Manipur, only on the News9 Plus Show!
Segment 2:- The Rise of Modiplomacy: Navigating India’s Dual Role in QUAD & BRICS
Prime Minister Modi will be in Delaware to participate in the QUAD meeting with the US, Australia and Japan on September 21. Exactly a month later, he will be in Kazan, Russia, to participate in the BRICS which is meant to be an alternate grouping of countries who believe the era of a western-led global system is over. The one country that’s common to both Quad and BRICS is India. That’s one facet of Modiplomacy for you. But what are the other features of this Modiplomacy and what are the challenges it will face as the world faces uncertain times? Discussing this and more are News9 Plus Editor Sandeep Unnithan, with colleague Kartikeya Sharma; Dr Arvind Gupta, Director of the Vivekananda International Foundation; and Pramit Pal Chaudhary, India Practise Head of the Eurasia Group, only on the News9 Plus Show.

Sir PK MISHRA should be given security advisor.

[@lifetraveller86]

Just some year back Sri Biren Singh was more popular amongst the hill tribals. He introduced "go to hills" program. During his tenure a Medical college is established in the hills, Churachandpur, also the DGP and ADGP was all from kuki tribal just before the violence.

[@Asura3kWorld]

1. The Construction of Chivu Park(Chandrakirti Park) in Behiang was one of the Spark that created this Conflict. Creating that Park was a Huge Reason. To the Hills People, it is a Reminder of how the Meitei Betrayed them. 2. The Attempt to Increase the Protected and Reserve Forest Area in the Hills Area is another reason. 3. The Court Order for the ST Status is another reason. But let's be Clear, the Fight Against Poppy Cultivation is welcomed by All Community and Development too.

CM Biren is a tough guy. The centre knows it. That is why the Home Minister of India has given a clean chit to him. There is no question of him giving up his post as CM. The majority of the Meiteis are Hindus. The centre knows that creating a Christian territory inside Manipur will create more trouble for India in the future. Most of the Kukis have a large chunk of illegal migrants among them. They are a security threat to the unity of India. The panellists have deliberately skipped the geopolitical ramifications of the prevailing situation. India is treading slowly in Manipur. Most of the Manipuris know what they are through national media and discussions. We are to be patient. I hope that peace returns to Manipur without it being Balkanized.

[@lalduhawmazadeng4045]

This is to Clarify to all viewers that Mr Mishra is much more unfamiliar with the present scenerio in the Manipur Police while Mr PC Nair just being Retired is Extremely Thorough & an Expert on the Present situation. Mr PC Nair had Said that Meitei & Kuki serving under Manipur Police are devided on Ethnic Lines already, and as such all Meitei Police are in the Meitei Imphal valley Areas while All Kuki Police are in the Kuki Areas ( on leave or some other reasons ) Firstly for their own safety & Security, & Secondly for maintainance of Intellegence leakage of CM Biren Singh's plans etc Understandably. It should be noted by Viewers that,the then IGP of Manipur Mr Dongel was relieved of his post by CM Biren Singh as he was an obstacle for the CM for this present Program. Viewers should also note that while all the Dead Meitei Police in this conflict were paid Equal compensation by CM Biren Singh, not a single Rupee has till date been paid to any of the Deseased Kukis serving in Manipur Police. Howeved the most important point to be noted by Viewers is - How will the Kuki or Meitei Police be trusted by their own Collegues in this Intence communal conflict when CM Biren Singh Himself could not protect his own BJP Kuki MLA Mr Haokip (who is in a semi vegitative state now )living just next door from his house with all his Body Guards & Drivers. The Ex Army Man Mr Mishra though however high his post may have been is talking pure nonsene on this topic,while Lt,Col. PC Nair turns out to be the Real Expert on the Subject Matter.

[@timo2761]

Not trusting manipur police is wrong, lots of police in hill areas. We do not trust the meitei police controlled by Biren Singh. Why always paint half the story only.

[@joyrajluwang4408]

Why so much discuss? This is not war between Kukies and Meiteis. Itd about Kuki narcoterrorist attack and trying to cleaning Indigenous people of Manipur. Kukies r nomadic, refugees and trying to get land by proxy war.

[@ghanashyamutube]

Types of weapons used in the conflict shows how lawless is India and its security. Huge money of Drugs attracts a lot of flies from politics and security officers! I hope it fuels the interest of whole lot of jackals!!! Sincererity of leaders and trust among the communities are nowhere seen.

[@khangembambirensingh9705]

Why kuki militants signed SoO? They did not fired a single bullet to the armed forces of indian Union; they simply extort from highways, meitei inhabitants in Kuki dominated areas; and how come this SoO? Is it to legitimize their unlawful activities?

[@milankhangamchapotshamba-sg8cc]

No doubt, Mr K. Sharma is right, what is happening in Manipur is an inter-(ethnic)-striff, but what he as a senior media expert is supposed to be soul searching not to make the so ethnic striff as the root cause of the absence pf peace since May 3, last year. He is turning wittingly or unwittingly, the logico-historical context of the said continued ethnic striff in terms of its real causation which can never be this effective, but ethnocentric geopolitical demand based violent political striff itself. The Meiteis and their ancestors during the entire were never and even now are not ethnocentric. Then who is indulging in the undemocratic ethnocentric geopolitical demand which goes against the very federal democratic pooitical structural sytem of modern India. Hence, to clubb them in the nonsensical interethnic violence since May 3 last is either a sign of insensitivity, igonrance or a parrating of a sponsored but political script of an invisible power nexus. This nexus is between an emerging power as one of the two Asian Tigers of the present century defined by the UN Experts in the 80s as the Asian Century. There is a convergence ans divergence of political economic based geopolitical strategic interests of the location of Manipur's Border Town Moreh as India's Economic Gateway towards the east as the hidden players of the crisis in Manipur of two or more friendly powers. Hence, the alleged Foreign Hand behind the sponsored confkict in Manipur itself which had become vogue since the droping of Drone Bombs on Koutruk, Senjam Chirang etc and firing of rocket at the INA Complex cum residence of Moirang Koireng - the first CM of the state during first week of Sept, 2024 is a diversion tactics to fool the public. Its threat to national security and India's sovereignty are also a part of the cover up atempts of whichever is the power as its author to wash off its hands observed on the surface of the ongoing violence in the forms of complicity of inactions and impunity given to the Kuki-Narco-Eco Terrorists to invade the Imphal valley to exterminate its population. Lastly yesterday, the state authority has issued a notice of well informed reports of well trained more than 900 kiki mikitants from Myanmar emcrossing border in seperate groups of 20-30 etc to launch a multipronged coordinated attacks at every Meitei villages. This planned attacks to follow has a dateline of on or before Sep 28, 2024. How is it a part an inter-ethnic conglict when looked at from the India pampered Kuki side? The valley militants were almost already either killed or arrested during the Congress rule with the help of the Kuki chin and other militants of Myanmar and Maniour by the strong actions of the HM and Defence combined. Except the village guards like Arsmbai which didn't exist before May 3 last year, there are no longer any militants left in the valley. No Meiteis will go against the interests of the country. Then, why are they targeted from all the sides- National Media, Delhi's Security planners, Analysts and Experts as well as the alien origin kuki militants led by two Myanmaris citizens (one is an EX MP of the country in the 90s? Why no news of the ground zero violent attacks against the Meiteis before the Koutruk attacks is allowed to ascepe Manipur and the Kukies have been allowed to spread fakshood during the entire duration of the conflict? What i have been saying when the Meiteis try to tell the pilitical truth behind the conflict almost all the hosts of the National Digital Media always stop them or discourage them, while the Kuki or prokuki panelists are to blabber untruths in support of the undemocratic ethnocentric geopolitical demand as a part of the hidden power's plan to delete the 2000 years of the political and cultural history of then kingdom of Manipur. No Meiteis are denanding sovereignty today. Then why the Kuki demand for creating Jalengam as a cross- border Pro-Western and semi Jewish Christian State with Manipur as its capital is allowed to accomplish its reality. The Demand for Separate Administration and to dismember Manipur is the laying the foundation stone of Jalengam. Does News9 support it?

This must be asked. Please don't say that the people don't want to talk... It is the state that does not want to to make them talk.. Think of BJP MLA and Meitei MLA.. WILL THEY NOT TALK EACH EACH OTHER IF MODI COMMANDS. For whose interest the state and centre are working.. Don't you see that there is a national security issue created and accentuated as time goes on.. It is important for us to see things beyond the popular narrative of ethnic enmity. I am sure by now that the victims are people and the perpetrator is the GOI.
