The FIRs, accessed by The Indian Express from police station records from across the state, pertain to loot or attempted loot of arms from security personnel in Manipur since May 3.
Only when BSF and Assam Rifles are present is the loot of police armouries foiled, When its only Manipur police personnel then they get “overpowered”.
In Kashmir, police fire into unarmed crowds protesting peacefully, In Manipur, police fire blanks in the air above the armed mobs attacking them.
In Kashmir, the crowd is Muslim. In Manipur, the attacking armed mob are Hindu.
Today is the 88th consecutive day of ethnic and communal genocide in Manipur. The state has experienced 87 consecutive days & nights of violence, & terror. Homes have been burnt to the ground and those who have managed to escape have done so with only the clothes on their backs.
Meanwhile, Biren Singh continues to be Chief Minister, Amit Shah continues to be India's Home Minister, and Narendra Modi continues to be India's Prime Minister. If not for the Assam Rifles & BSF, the situation would be much worse.
India's elected Prime Minister refuses to address Parliament for fear of being questioned, refuses to addressed the nation on Manipur refuses to take steps to end the violence, refuses to appeal for peace.
So what is he doing? He's giving speeches against the opposition in state election campaigns.
The entire leadership of the ruling political party, the Hindu suppremacist BJP is ignoring the killings and violence in Manipur and are happy to let it burn. Mainstream media has been supporting Modi wholeheartedly. Opposition parties keep dragging the govt's and people's attention back to Manipur even at the risk of being kicked out of Parliament.
Meanwhile, instigators are using social media & local mainstream media to spread fake news to fuel the burning fire in Manipur and to set ethnic & communal fires in the sister states of Meghalaya, Mizoram, and Assam.
