Manipuris organise protest in Guwahati against violence in home state

[ad_1]
Guwahati: Natives of Manipur, including a large number of students, held a protest in Guwahati on Friday in the wake of the violence that paralysed the state for the last few days.
The protesters said that unauthentic information has been peddled which is causing a state of confusion.
“We are very worried about the situation there. As the internet services snapped off in many parts of Manipur, wrong information has been circulating in the social media that is creating a state of panic among us who are living far from home,” a student who took part in the protest said.

The protesters demanded that the government must ensure that peace returns in Manipur at the earliest.
Meanwhile, a section of protesters alleged that the Manipur government’s intention to implement National Register of Citizens (NRC) in the state is behind the outbreak of the violence.
A protester said: “The issue is not with granting ST status to the Meitei community. The NRC is the basic cause of the recent conflict.”
Notably, following the High Court’s directive to grant Scheduled Tribe (ST) status to non-tribal Meitei community in Manipur has reopened a decade-old faultline between the hill tribes and Meitei community.
A protest march organised by All Tribal Students’ Union Manipur (ATSUM) turned violent in the border area of Bishnupur and Churachandpur districts when the demonstrators clashed with a group of local people there.

According to reports, following the clashes, a few unidentified miscreants set ablaze houses belonging to a particular group. After that, unrest spread in many locations including the state capital Imphal.

Hyderabad: Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma will attend the ‘Hindu Ekta Yatra’ in Karimnagar which will be held on May 14, organised by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) state president and MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar.
A Telangana BJP press release said on Friday that the BJP national general secretary and state party affairs in-charge Tarun Chugh will also attend the event. Bandi Sanay is preparing for the event likely to attract over one lakh people.

“Working towards protecting the Hindu Dharma. Those who want to defend Hindu Dharma should participate in this yatra,” he said.
Biswa Sarma last visited Hyderabad on September 8, 2022, following which tension prevailed at Mozamjahi Market after the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) leader created a flutter by attempting to snatch the mike of Himanta Biswa at a public meeting while he was addressing an audience.
The Assam chief minister had come under sharp criticism from the opposition over his comments that madrasas in the state which were demolished recently were ‘Al-Qaeda’s’ offices when the structures were razed under the Disaster Management Act.

Over 600 people from violence-hit Manipur flee to neighbouring Assam

[ad_1]
Silchar: More than 600 people from violence-hit areas of Manipur fled to neighbouring Assam’s Cachar district till Friday, officials said.
People of different ethnicities have crossed the inter-state border, and taken shelter at Lakhinagar panchayat area of the district, they said.
Cachar’s Deputy Commissioner Rohan Jha said the district administration has made arrangements for those coming from the neighbouring state, and all necessary help will be provided to them.

“Some of the families have taken refuge at their relatives’ place in Lakhinagar. Arrangements have been made at community halls and school campuses for those who have no place to go,” he said.
Food and other necessities, including medicines, will be provided to them as is done during any disaster, he said.
“We are prepared to take care of the families seeking shelter in Cachar,” Jha added.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa in a tweet said, “Several families affected by the recent incidents in Manipur have sought refuge in Assam. I have requested the District Administration of Cachar to take care of these families.”
Sarma said he was in constant touch with his Manipur CM N Biren Singh.

Violent clashes out broke between tribals and members of the majority Meitei community in Manipur on Wednesday, displacing thousands of people.
The clashes broke out after a ‘Tribal Solidarity March’ was organised in the ten hill districts to protest the Meitei community’s demand for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status.
Meiteis account for about 53 percent of population and live mostly in the Imphal valley. Tribals — Nagas and Kukis — account for another 40 percent of the population, and live mostly in the hill districts.
Two districts of Assam — Cachar and Dima Hasao — share a 204.1 km border with Manipur.

We have to take disengagement process forward: Jaishankar on eastern Ladakh border row

[ad_1]
Benaulim: The relations between India and China cannot be normal if peace and tranquillity in border areas are disturbed, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Friday.
His comments at a press conference came a day after his talks with Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang.
“I think the issue is that there is an abnormal position in border areas,” he said, adding “we had a frank discussion about it.”

“We have to take the disengagement process forward,” he further said.
Jaishankar and Qin held bilateral talks on Thursday on the sidelines of a meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO).
The meeting between the two foreign ministers was their second in the last two months. The Chinese foreign minister visited India in March to attend a meeting of the G20 foreign ministers.
During the talks, Jaishankar conveyed to his Chinese counterpart that the state of India-China relations is “abnormal” because of the lingering border row in eastern Ladakh.
Last week, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh told his Chinese counterpart Li Shangfu at a meeting that China’s violation of existing border agreements “eroded” the entire basis of ties between the two countries and that all issues relating to the frontier must be resolved in accordance with the existing pacts.

The meeting on April 27 took place in New Delhi on the sidelines of a conclave of the SCO defence ministers.
Days ahead of the meeting between the two defence ministers, the Indian and Chinese armies held 18th round of talks on ending the border row.
In the Corps Commander talks on April 23, the two sides agreed to stay in close touch and work out a mutually acceptable solution to the remaining issues in eastern Ladakh at the earliest.
However, there was no indication of any clear forward movement in ending the three-year row.
The ties between India and China nosedived significantly following the fierce clash in the Galwan Valley in June 2020 that marked the most serious military conflict between the two sides in decades.
The Indian and the Chinese troops are locked in a standoff in a few friction points along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh for the last three years though they disengaged in several places following a series of military and diplomatic talks.
India has been maintaining that the relationship between the two countries should be based on “three mutuals” — mutual respect, mutual sensitivity and mutual interests.
The eastern Ladakh border standoff erupted on May 5, 2020, following a violent clash in the Pangong lake area.
As a result of a series of military and diplomatic talks, the two sides completed the disengagement process in 2021 on the north and south banks of the Pangong lake and in the Gogra area.
