Transcript

00:00As a society, we are ashamed that such incidents have taken place there.

00:06But, it is even more shameful to politicize the incident that has taken place there.

00:13I agree with the opposition that violence has taken place there.

00:35But, no one can agree with this violence.

00:39I agree with the opposition that violence has taken place there.

01:06It is your fault.

01:08Why are you blaming me?

01:12It is your fault.

01:13We are going to ask questions.

01:15And you are trying to blame us.

01:19You are the one who is politicizing.

01:21We are not politicizing.

01:23The Prime Minister has not gone.

01:25The entire country knows that the government is not ready to discuss the issue in Manipur.

01:36I wrote a letter to the Prime Minister asking him not to delay the discussion.

01:47But, he did not want to discuss the issue.

01:49He wanted to oppose it.

01:52If he was not satisfied with my actions, he would have asked the Prime Minister to discuss the issue.

02:00The Prime Minister would have thought about it.

02:02Do you think that you can silence me by raising your voice?

02:07You cannot silence me.

02:09The people of Manipur have sent us here.

02:13For the past 6.5 years, the Indian People's Party has ruled Manipur.

02:18Since the formation of the Indian People's Party in Manipur, there has not been a single day of curfew in Manipur.

02:25There has not been a single day of lockdown in Manipur.

02:28There has not been a single day of blockade in Manipur.

02:31And the aggressive violence has almost ended.

02:34The history of the Indian People's Party has been going on for the past 6 years.

02:40In 2021, there was a change of power in Myanmar.

02:47The military regime came to power in Myanmar.

02:53The democratic government collapsed.

02:55There is a Kuki Democratic Fund there.

02:58It started a movement for democracy.

03:01When the Kuki Democratic Fund started a movement for democracy,

03:05the military regime started to put pressure on them.

03:11And since Myanmar is a free border, there is no fencing there.

03:18And not from today.

03:19Not since independence.

03:21There is no fencing.

03:23So, a large number of Kuki brothers started to come here as refugees in Mijoram and Manipur.

03:31Families started to settle.

03:32Where would they settle?

03:33They started to settle in the jungle.

03:35And in a way, in other parts of Manipur, there was a feeling of insecurity that our population will change.

03:43We saw that.

03:45At the same time, in 2022, we decided that we cannot open the border.

03:52We will have to make a border.

03:54Fencing has to be done.

03:55We have completed 10 km of fencing.

03:5860 km of work is going on.

04:00And a survey of 600 km is going on.

04:03Until 2014, there was no fencing.

04:08Then there was an unrest.

04:10Because the population there is very low.

04:13In the valleys, there are Matais.

04:15And in the mountains, there are Kuki and Nagat tribal brothers.

04:18So, there is a lot of pressure on the change of population.

04:22That our population will come to a low level.

04:25So, for this, from about January, we started to introduce all the refugees who came there.

04:35We took their thumb impression, eye impression.

04:38And the thumb impression and eye impression were put on the water list and the negative list of the Aadhaar card.

04:45It is not acceptable that someone is sleeping in the control room of the government.

04:50Still, the way the population increased, the feeling of insecurity spread among the Matais.

04:58In the meantime, a rumor spread on April 29 that 58 refugees had been declared as villages.

05:10Now, with the rumor of declaring villages, a very big unrest started in the valley.

05:16And that unrest also, we drove the jeep with the microphone.

05:19It was said that no village has been declared.

05:21But now, when the fire spreads, it spreads.

05:23It is a matter of disbelief.

05:25So, they thought that this is permanent.

05:27So, there was an unrest.

05:29After that, the work of putting oil in the fire was decided by a high court in April of Manipur.

05:37Which ran a long petition for years, suddenly.

05:41Suddenly, neither the Tribal Commission of the Indian government took a letter,

05:48nor the Tribal Department of the Indian government,

05:51nor the Gurumantralaya of the Indian government,

05:53nor the Manipur government.

05:55And suddenly said that before April 29, the Matais will be declared as tribal.

06:02This caused a lot of unrest in the mountains.

06:05There was a lot of unrest among the tribals.

06:07If the Matais become tribal, then we will lose our jobs.

06:10It is a matter of competition and it is natural.

06:12Without any legal procedure, an order was made.

06:15Because of which, there was already unrest up and down.

06:19There was unrest up and down.

06:21And on the 3rd, there was a clash in a valley.

06:24And after the clash, riots started, which have made the situation unstable so far.

06:30Now, why didn't this situation go?

06:33Why didn't this go?

06:35Don't compare it with the Matais.

06:37This is a situation of public riots.
