“The visuals of the torture on Kuki women had shook the conscience of the nation, the acts was inhuman,” said Chief Minister Vijayan in his Facebook post.
He said the ethnic riots that have been going on in Manipur for more than two months can only be looked at with fearful concern. Adding fuel to the historical antagonism between hill and valley dwellers, the communal situation in Manipur is being aggravated, the CM said
“What’s happening in Manipur every day is most shocking. Ethnic riots that have been going on for the past two months, can only be viewed with fearful concern. Horrifying visuals that grieve the human conscience, can be seen daily. Women belonging to Kuki tribes are being hunted down by the rioters in the most brutal and inhuman way. The visuals that are now doing the rounds are from when the riots had just begun,” said Pinarayi Vijayan
What’s happening in Manipur is a planned attack and deliberate hunting of Christians under the cover of riots, CM Vijayan said in the Facebook post. There are reports that the very people who are supposed to restore peace are trying to incite riots, he further said
“It’s evident that what has been happening under the cover of riots, is a planned attack to hunt down Christians. Going by reports, the very authorities responsible to ensure peace are trying to incite riots,” he said.
Blaming the Centre government for its failure to restore peace in Manipur, CM Vijayan said: “It is the duty of the democrats to resist and defeat the planned efforts for communal polarisation.”
