India allegedly remains either ignorant or mute spectator to the blatant terrorism on its soil by cross-border Kuki settler colonialists, mostly funded by narco-business cartels and international agencies, and armed with smuggled weapons from the West, the CSOs stated in a joint release.
The Meitei community of violence-hit Manipur held a protest demanding justice in Delhi's Jantar Mantar on Friday, the day ethnic violence broke out with the Kuki-Zo tribes last year.
Over 1,300 people signed the open letter within 48 hours, which was submitted to the Prime Minister s Office on Monday. "As India makes significant strides in development and prepares to host the G20 summit, the persistence of violence in Manipur threatens to undermine these achievements. The ongoing violence in Manipur has fractured the social fabric of the state," the letter said.
