Home Minister Gaikhangam has kept his word to make police people friendly organisation, the wrong doers have been punished. The bold step taken by the Government of Manipur will go a long way in assuaging the wounded hearts. Who would not weep when the near and dear one was snatched away by the cruel death? Nothing should be done to play with human life. Some police personnel have inculcated the habit of playing with human life. They must pay the price for it. These security personnel need to be told again and again their actions and activities are being watched by the higher ups. The carelessness with which they carried out the operation kicking the door in the dead of the night and then pulling away the man from his sleep in front of his child, who was sleeping with him left a deep scar mark. Who knows what he will the child do after he grows up. The family members need to be consoled. The child needs to be given free education and a member of the family a Government job so that they will be able to take care of themselves. It is said, the man who had been killed in the fake encounter was the sole bread earner of the family. Extremes can fight with extremes, we will not lament even when one of them dies. Because they are doing that for a cause, which they held high. When Bhindrawale died in operation blue star launched at the Golden temple in 1984 by Indian army none came to claim his body. Joginder his father, who later became a leader of Akali Dal knew his son had died for a cause. So he did not claim even the body. As long as innocent people are spared nothing wrong with all these happenings, because we cannot control men on both sides. The voice of the people have been sidelined and despite the dharna launched against bomb culture bombs are used in attacking civilians. Someone somewhere is paying the price. Efforts should be made to ensure that innocent persons are not harmed in the fight against extremism. If the person paying the price turns out to be innocent people, general masses will raise their voice. The voice of the people cannot be suppressed. Gaikhangam acted quickly before the situation snowballed into a big crisis. By keeping a few of them under suspension a situation has been wisely tackled. This action has sent a message to all uniform men that the wrong doing cannot be tolerated. But the questions remain, which need to be answered at whose advice did the commandos act. Did they act on their own? What could they gain by committing the crime? After we have properly diagnosed the ailment knife can be applied. In doing so the evil trend sweeping in the society too will be known. There is a tendency, which is noticed, to revive fake encounter culture in Manipur. It must not happen for it flares up the already boiling situation. It drags down image of the state also.
