Members of the Assam Rifles have linked the “political authoritarianism and ambition” of Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh to ongoing violence in the north-eastern state. A recent report suggests that the BJP-led government had ‘inflamed’ the conflict with their stance on several issues and created ‘divisions between communities’. Meanwhile the Congress has dubbed it a “BJP-manufactured crisis” and recently accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of abandoning all responsibility for the situation.
According to an assessment prepared by Assam Rifles officials in Manipur, the blame lies in part with the state government. Al Jazeera cited The Reporters’ Collective (which had viewed the presentation) to highlight several policies that ‘drove home the impression that he is targeting Kukis”. The presentation also made note of the “state forces’ tacit support” of the clashes and the “dismemberment of law-and-order machinery”.
