Two months after several Kuki villages were burned down and nine Meitei people were killed in the Saikul subdivision of Manipur’s Kangpokpi district, the villages remain inaccessible for journalists. Amid a storm of claims and counterclaims by Meitei and Kuki groups, reporters are forced to rely on selective leaks from security forces whose credibility has been seriously dented during this conflict. It is possibly the only region in Manipur that mediapersons are being physically prevented from accessing even though there are no official orders.
disinfo,misinfo, & propaganda are designed to be low-intellect. How else to trap the sheep?
The Meitei-majority Manipur police have long abandoned their duty and their oaths. There are videos of, them helping and travelling with the violent Meitei Leepun & Arambai Tenggol mobs. There’s a video of Kuki women being stripped naked, molested, and then gangraped by Meitei mob. The women have confirmed that the Manipur police, who they had approached for protection, had handed them over to the mob and also handed the brother and father of one of the women to be lynched and killed by the mob. So its not surprising that one of their policmen would repeat a Meitei lie.
