In the remote northeastern state of Manipur, a harrowing tale of ethnic cleansing and political failure unfolds, bearing eerie resemblances to some of history's darkest chapters. The Kuki-Zo tribe finds itself in the throes of a nightmare akin to the genocides witnessed in Rwanda and Bosnia, sparking global concern. Once again, ethnicity has become the catalyst for a reign of terror, while the Manipur Police, entrusted with protecting its citizens, seemingly remain passive bystanders to the unfolding carnage.
It is very unfortunate that the state of unrest and violence that erupted afterwards among those who have been living a peaceful life with mutual harmony and co-operation for centuries has not yet stopped.
According to reports, the incident is said to have occurred at around 11:00 p.m. on Thursday night, after a huge mob of miscreants stormed R K Ranjan Singh's residential gate.
