  • Manipur Violence: Terrorist groups becoming active again in Manipur, trying to increase tension

    Manipur Tension still continues between the Kuki and Meitei communities and there are reports that many terrorist groups have started becoming active again in the state. Security agencies have expressed fear of increasing tension again in Manipur. It is known that Manipur is burning in the fire of violence since May 3. More than 160 people have died so far in the violence. While thousands of people have been rendered homeless, they are forced to live in relief camps.

    Terrorists associated with UNLF and PLA had opened fire on military officers.

    Terrorists belonging to banned groups United National Liberation Front (UNLF) and People’s Liberation Army (PLA) were reportedly part of a mob that opened fire on an army officer in Manipur. Central security agencies have now warned about the possibility of terrorists joining the crowd during any protest to escalate tensions in restive Manipur, officials said.

    An army lieutenant colonel was injured in a clash between a group of people.

    The warning comes after an army lieutenant colonel was injured last week during a confrontation with a group of people. The group had attempted to attack tribals in Molnoi village near Palel in Tengnoupal district, but was foiled by the Army and Assam Rifles. During the confrontation, a bullet hit the hand of Lieutenant Colonel Raman Tyagi, after which action was taken against the protesters who were adamant on marching towards the tribal village. Officials said Lieutenant Colonel Tyagi was airlifted from Manipur to Guwahati by helicopter, where he underwent surgery. He said that after investigating the incident, security agencies came to the conclusion that terrorists from banned groups were part of the protesting crowd.

    Dormant terrorist groups are becoming active again

    Officials said they had been warning about the reactivation of almost dormant banned groups such as UNLF, PLA, Kanglei Yawol Kanba Lup (KYKL) and People’s Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak ​​(PREPAK) in the state for the past few weeks. He said currently there are 330 cadres of UNLF, followed by 300 cadres of PLA and 25 cadres of KYKL, who are active within the groups of the majority community.

    Cadres of banned organizations are getting tremendous support

    The tremendous support that the cadres of these banned organizations are receiving was visible on June 24 when the Army and Assam Rifles, acting on specific intelligence, captured 12 KYKL members in East Imphal, including self-styled ‘Lieutenant Colonel’ Moirangthem Tamba alias Uttam. Included. Uttam was one of the main conspirators of the ambush attack on 6th Dogra Regiment in 2015. 18 army soldiers were killed in this attack. The UNLF has in the past been involved in large-scale extortion targeting contractors and traders. The PLA, which initially took shape under the name ‘Polei’, the ancient name of Manipur, reportedly aimed to liberate Manipur and establish an independent Meitei rule in the Imphal Valley.

    KYKL raises money through extortion

    KYKL raises money through extortion and openly supports other terrorist groups. It is considered a mercenary group, which has no ideology. PREPAK was banned by the government for its separatist ideology and the group primarily raises money through extortion from businessmen. This terrorist group is also involved in extortion on behalf of PLA and UNLF. This group, after keeping its share of the recovery amount, sends the remaining money to terrorist groups. Officials said that there is a possibility that the arms and ammunition looted from the Manipur Police armory may have reached these terrorist groups.

  • Crack in INDIA alliance? Congress furious at Mamata’s participation in G20 dinner, Nitish also ‘surprised’

    The two allies of the opposition alliance INDIA have attacked each other. Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Choudhary has raised questions on the presence of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in this dinner. At the same time, TMC has hit back at him. On the other hand, Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren also attended this dinner. However, eyes are only on Nitish Kumar.

    Questions are being raised on Nitish Kumar attending the dinner

    Nitish Kumar, despite being an ally of BJP, did not come to many important meetings in Delhi. He also kept distance from NITI Aayog meetings and meetings called by the Prime Minister. In July last year, he stayed away from the PM’s farewell dinner for former President Ram Nath Kovind. Nitish Kumar had also kept distance from the swearing-in ceremony of current President Draupadi Murmu. In this way he had given a hint of his next step, because in the very next month in August, he broke ties with BJP and joined the Grand Alliance. Now on Saturday, Nitish Kumar was seen meeting PM Modi warmly at the dinner organized for the G20 heads of state and guests at ‘Bharat Mandapam’ in Delhi.

    Nitish Kumar had come to Delhi from Patna especially for dinner. He had also supported ‘one country, one election’ a few days ago. However, Nitish Kumar has laid the foundation of the opposition alliance against NDA. The first meeting of the opposition alliance was called in Patna itself. After the second meeting of the opposition alliance in Bangalore, news of Nitish Kumar’s displeasure had spread, but Nitish had strongly denied these reports. After this, Nitish Kumar also participated in the Mumbai meeting.

    Nitish-Prashant Kishore go with both options

    Meanwhile, election strategist Prashant Kishore has raised questions on Nitish Kumar’s presence in the President’s dinner. Prashant Kishore says that Nitish keeps both doors and windows open, so that he can use either of them if needed. He said that at present, INDIA alliance is the ‘door’ and NDA is the ‘window’ for Nitish.

    Politics over dinner in Bengal too

    On the other hand, politics is also taking place in West Bengal regarding this dinner. There, Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Choudhary has raised questions on Mamata Banerjee’s decision to attend the G20 dinner. He asked Mamata Banerjee whether attending this dinner would not weaken her stand against the Narendra Modi government. The Congress leader also wondered whether there was any other reason behind TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee attending this dinner.

    Latest and Breaking News on NDTV

    Congress leader Adhir Ranjan retaliated

    TMC has retaliated on this question of Congress leader Adhir Ranjan. TMC hit back and said that Mamata Banerjee is a major supporter of the opposition group INDIA. There is no need for the Congress leader to teach them about government protocol. Let us tell you that many non-BJP Chief Ministers did not attend the G20 dinner, but Mamata Banerjee had reached Delhi a day before. On this occasion, she was seen at the same place with Home Minister Amit Shah and UP CM Yogi Adityanath.

    Politics in Congress camp too

    The third politics is taking place in the Congress camp. Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhdev Singh Sukhu participated in this dinner. Sukhu is the only Congress Chief Minister attending the dinner. Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah did not come to the dinner. Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel also did not come. Congress President and Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge was not even given an invitation for dinner. Congress had also objected to this, but the government said that no leader of any political party was called. Even BJP President JP Nadda was not invited.

    In such a situation, the question arises that when Gehlot, Baghel and Siddaramaiah did not attend the G20 Summit dinner, then why only Sukhu reached? However, according to Congress sources, the Congress high command had left it to the Chief Ministers to decide whether to attend the dinner or not.

    Home Ministry also gave clarification

    There were also reports that Gehlot and Baghel decided not to attend the dinner organized in Delhi due to lack of flight permission. After this the Home Ministry denied these claims. According to the Home Ministry, the Rajasthan CM claimed that the Home Ministry did not give permission to fly the helicopter. According to the ministry, four requests for flights had come from the Rajasthan CM and all were approved. Similarly, according to reports, Chhattisgarh CM expressed his inability to attend the G20 dinner as there were flight controls around Delhi. According to the ministry, there is high-tech security cover in Delhi from September 8-11, but governors and chief ministers have been allowed to fly in state aircraft.

    This Chief Minister did not attend the dinner

    All cabinet ministers, ministers of state, chief ministers and secretaries were invited for this dinner. About 300 guests attended this Saturday dinner. Many Chief Ministers stayed away from this dinner for different reasons. Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, Punjab CM Bhagwant Singh Mann, Andhra Pradesh CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan, Telangana CM K Chansekhar Rao, Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot, Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel and Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah did not attend this dinner.
