Meiteis’ Endeavour to Disseminate False Information vis-à-vis the False Bohemian Club Report

Meitei propagandists have stooped to a new low by pretending to be associated with a San Francisco-based club and spreading a completely false narrative linking Kuki-Zo tribals to ISI and the Chinese Communist Party. The authentic Bohemian Club in the US has verified that they did not publish any such report. Prior to this, Meiteis went to the extent of creating a fictitious news story on a fabricated US and UK Times website to promote their narratives. The extent to which the Meiteis are willing to go to advance their aggression and subjugation of the minority Kuki-Zo tribals in Manipur is truly alarming and raises concerns.

The Meitei propagandist, impersonating the ‘Bohemian Club,’ a private city clubhouse in the Nob Hill district of San Francisco, California, and the Bohemian Grove, published a report titled “The Red-Green Sinister Coalition: The ISI and CCP come together in the US to fund Anti-India campaign on Manipur violence.” The report intends to mislead the gullible public by disseminating false information using the name of the reputed club.

The false report stated that a dissident from the breakaway group of Kuki-dominated anti-India group in the US reached out to a member of Bohemian Club studying at the University of Texas at Austin. The revelations made by him on Manipur crisis led to an investigation by the Bohemian Club, that could shock the policy communities in India and the US, it claimed.

The report alleged that The North American Manipur Tribal Association (NAMTA) based in the United States collaborated with several international organizations and purportedly provided financial support for activities deemed anti-India. The report inaccurately attributed the campaign in Manipur to a coalition involving China, Pakistan, and Khalistani elements.

The report concludes by saying that the Bohemian Club has done its part in exposing the nexus of the anti-India gang and expects that the relevant authorities and stakeholders would take cognizance of and come ahead to neutralize the sinister campaigns.

The NAMTA in their X handle clarified that an anonymous X/Twitter handle that impersonates the Bohemian Club, an established US-based organization, has been spreading disinformation about NAMTA as an organization and associated individuals who are completely innocent of the baseless claims. The Association calls upon all rational minded individuals to reject unsubstantiated smears and outrageous allegations to spread disharmony in Manipur, India and beyond.

The Bohemian Club itself has clarified the misinformation report informing that the Club will take the necessary steps to address the matter, which has no affiliation with the Bohemian Club.

In summary, Meiteis have excelled in spreading inaccurate or deceptive information, along with leveling groundless and unsubstantiated allegations.
