Protest against CM Biren’s interview and viral audio
Rallies were held in Manipur on August 31 to protest against CM Biren Singh’s interview to news agency PTI. The Chief Minister had rejected the Kuki groups’ demand for a separate administration (Kukiland).

CM Biren had said that he would not let the identity of the state be weakened. Biren comes from the Meitei community, however, he has assured a special development package for the area where the Kukis live.

Apart from this, there is a ruckus over another viral audio of CM Biren. This audio is said to be of CM Biren Singh. In the audio, objectionable comments are heard on the violence that has been going on in Manipur since May 2023.

However, the Manipur government says that the chief minister’s voice in the audio clip has been doctored. This is being done to derail the peace initiative in the violence-hit state.

The banner of the Kuki organisations read- Global Rally on Leaked Tapes, Save us from Manipur.

More than 200 people have died in the violence that has been going on since May 2023
Violence has been going on in Manipur since May 3, 2023 between the Kuki and Meitei communities over reservation. According to government figures, 226 people have died so far in the violence. More than 1100 people have been injured. More than 65 thousand people have left their homes.

Know in 4 points what is the reason behind Manipur violence…
The population of Manipur is about 38 lakhs. There are three major communities here – Meitei, Naga and Kuki. Meitei are mostly Hindus. Naga-Kuki follow Christianity. They come under ST category. Their population is about 50%. Imphal valley, spread over about 10% area of ​​the state, is dominated by Meitei community. The population of Naga-Kuki is about 34 percent. These people live in about 90% area of ​​the state.

How the dispute started: The Meitei community demands that they should also be given the status of a tribe. The community filed a petition in the Manipur High Court for this. The community argued that Manipur was merged with India in 1949. Before that they had the status of a tribe. After this, the High Court recommended to the state government that the Meitei should be included in the Scheduled Tribe (ST).

What Meitei argues is: The Meitei tribe believes that years ago their kings had called the Kukis from Myanmar to fight the war. After that they became permanent residents. These people cut down the forests for employment and started cultivating opium. Due to this, Manipur has become a triangle of drug smuggling. All this is happening openly. They formed an arms group to fight the Naga people.

Why the Naga-Kukis are protesting: The other two tribes are against giving reservation to the Meitei community. They say that 40 out of 60 assembly seats in the state are already in the Meitei-dominated Imphal valley. In such a situation, if Meitei gets reservation in the ST category, their rights will be divided.

What are the political equations: Out of 60 MLAs of Manipur, 40 MLAs are from Meitei and 20 MLAs are from Naga-Kuki tribe. So far, only two out of 12 CMs have been from tribes.
