Chief Liar Biren Singh’s Peace Appeal Follows Violent Attacks Towards Kukis on Christmas Day

The Kuki-Zo community’s constant assertion of imminent violent attacks from the Meiteis’ armed groups in the aftermath of each of N. Biren Singh’s peace appeal has been vindicated once again on Christmas Day.

Since the eruption of the state-sponsored ethnic cleansing pogrom unleashed by the majority Meiteis, every peace appeal made by the chief architect of the violent N. Biren Singh on several occasions has been translated into devastating attacks on the Kuki areas by the Meitei militants including the radicalised private milita groups- Arambai Tenggol and Meitei Leepun. Every peace appeal from the top leadership of the state indicates a sign of violent activities from the aggressors towards the Kuki-Zo areas in the immediate future.

On Christmas day and ahead of New year, Meiteis’ Kangleipak Chief Minister N Biren Singh asked people to stop violence and start peaceful dialogue. Biren while talking to media persons said, “Solving problems will take time. I want to appeal to all the people to stop violence and start peaceful dialogue. We must live together again, displaced persons have to be resettled, children have to go to school, people have to do their work. So, I appeal ahead of New Year and Christmas, to stop violence.”
However, like all times before, his appeal was followed by attacks on Kuki-Zo village guards.

On Christmas Day, fresh gunfire attacks occurred in the “Line of Control (LoC)” areas of Saibol, Twichin, Phaimol under Kuki dominated Kanggui district. As per sources, the attack to disrupt the festive mood of the Kukis began in the early morning of December 25 until 11:00 AM. The Meitei militants climbed up the hills and started indiscriminate firing towards the Kuki village volunteers who were guarding their ancestral land and the people. However, there was no report of any casualty.

During the night of December 24, a video clip recorded by the Kuki village volunteers went viral on social media platforms, wherein a large convoy of the Meitei militants were seen moving towards Sabungkhok and Yaingangpokpi side, a sign of an impending imminent threat of attack on the Kuki areas. The firing thus occurred the following day on Christmas.

Similar attacks on the Kuki-Zo areas were also reported in the buffer zone between Lamka district and the Meiteis’ dominated Bishnupur district. The Meitei militants started indiscriminate gunfiring towards the Kuki-Zo village volunteers who were guarding the village of Molngat and the surrounding areas under Lamka district. The ensuing gunfight which began at around 10:20 PM of December 25 lasted for about two hours. However, there was no report of any casualty.

The pathological liar, N. Biren Singh, had also stated that normalcy has returned in Imphal, Kangpokpi and Churachandpur. However, escalating tension still prevails between the warring parties with imminent threat of attacks from his private militia goons - the Arambai Tenngol and Meitei Leepun, on the Kuki areas. No one takes his words seriously as he has blood on his hand, and he is a liar and will remain a pathological liar until he breathes his last.

Unfortunately, some other media outlets have also been a part of the misinformation campaign spearheaded by Imphal valley- based sources. An online news portal, nenow.in on 25 December has reported on the incident under the title “Militants perpetuate terror on Christmas Day in Manipur”. Although there is no denying the fact that it was indeed militants who had perpetuated the terror, they belonged to the Meitei community. The Kuki-Zo volunteers had only returned fire upon provocation by the Meitei militants as stated above. As there is currently a state of war with the Meiteis ever threatening to attack Kuki-Zo areas, the Kuki-Zo volunteers have been forced to pick up arms to defend their land and its people and will continue to do so until and unless the Meiteis give up their arms and the state and centre formally recognise the separation of the Kuki-Zo hills from the state of Manipur.
