Manipur ruling party urges AFSPA review, proposes operations against Kuki militants after killings

The members of the ruling party in Manipur, during a meeting, adopted a resolution urging the Central Government to review the imposition of AFSPA, as per the order dated 14 November 2024, with immediate effect.

The meeting decided to launch mass operations against the Kuki militants responsible for the killing of six innocent women and children in Jiribam within seven days. The cases related to the killing of the six innocent Meitei women and children in Jiribam, the death of one Hmar woman who was burnt on 7 November 2024 in Jiribam, and the killing of one Meitei woman farmer in Saiton, Bishnupur district on 9 November 2024, are to be immediately handed over to the National Investigation Agency (NIA).

The meeting also decided to declare the Kuki militants responsible for the killings of the six innocent women and children as an "unlawful organization" within seven days.


"If the above resolutions are not implemented within the specified period, all the NDA legislators will decide the future course of action in consultation with the people of the state. The Central and State Governments are urged to take all necessary steps at the earliest to restore peace and normalcy in Manipur," the resolution stated.

The meeting condemned the actions of certain individuals who humiliated the Ministers and MLAs, who represent the public, by attacking them, as well as burning and stealing their properties. Such barbaric actions, including the looting and destruction of properties, were strongly condemned by all the legislators present. Legal action will be initiated against the concerned miscreants based on the findings of a High Powered Committee.
