Clashes against Christians intensified in the Indian state of Manipur. So far, 92 people have reportedly been killed, 302 injured and nearly 30,000 people displaced in the violent incidents.
The situation in Manipur remains tense and unstable. The Kukis, a Christian community, believe that the status of the Metis as a “Scheduled Tribe” is a violation of their rights, and unrest has led to clashes with the Metis, resulting in widespread damage to vehicles and property. reached.
The Modi government has sought special powers for law enforcement agencies and deployed the army to deal with violent clashes. Law enforcement agencies have been unable to control the situation and the clashes in Imphal under the influence of Matti where the Kukis are being exterminated.
People of the Kuki community say that violent mobs in collaboration with the state police have carried out targeted attacks against them, while violence against poor Christians continues in the state even in the presence of the Chief Minister. Food is in short supply, curfews are still enforced by the army and paramilitary forces while the internet is suspended, shops, schools and offices are closed. Thousands of people are trapped in overcrowded and unsafe refugee camps.
The Kukis feel that secession is the only solution and fear the end of the Christian people under state patronage.
Modi government’s ongoing campaign against Christians is being interpreted as a tribal conflict. Eradicating Christians from Manipur is an anti-Christian move. With these violent actions of the Modi government, these clashes are turning into a large-scale rebellion.
