‘Modiji, Silence Is Not Always Golden’: Protesters Say if Kukis Lose, Indian Democracy Will Lose Too
'Nothing has changed over the last six months. The Meiti extremists have started attacking the Kuki people in Moreh again...[But] at least back then, the Kukis could run to the army camps. Now, they are forced to stay in the forest and have no place to reside,' said an activist.
On asking what has changed over the last six months in Manipur, Mary Grace, one of the founders of the Kuki-Zo Women’s Group, told The Wire, “Nothing has changed. The Meiti extremists have stopped the violence for a while to reorganise and train themselves, and now they have started attacking the Kuki people in Moreh again, the same way they did in Imphal valley six months ago.”
