Dead man tells no story. Those who had died had finished their life they will never know what is sorrow and pang of separation. Survivors weep unable to bear with the pang of separation. Why these killings happen? Is there nobody who can stop all these killings? In what could be called a clear case of fake encounter a man arrested while he was sleeping with his son was dumped at the RIMS morgue with a tag the victim of an encounter. The story will not end here. Such news is really disturbing. Whatever the case may be the security personnel involved in picking up the victim will need to do a lot of explaining. Why was he picked up and what information they could garner from talking to him before he was put to rest. Is this the price one should pay for living in this strife torn state. Thoughtlessly carried out actions be it by the security forces or police or extremists leave the people of the state in quagmire. It seems there is no space for unarmed persons in Manipur. Everyone is thinking of possessing deadly weapons. Steps need to be taken to ensure that such incident, which is disturbing, does not occur again. If the matter is investigated by a competent authority it will bring to light why it happened? Law and order maintenance cannot be left in the hands of a few security personnel. When we were kids we were told by senior citizens to avoid confrontation with uniform men for we would be at the receiving end of the uniform men if we did. Once a person had been beaten by uniform men a disease had been sown. Therefore earnest appeal is made to security personnel to show maximum restraint while dealing even with the criminals. We need security personnel to protect innocent people not to torment the already troubled mind. The matter cannot escape without being properly scrutinised by the highest authority of the land for at the end such incident questions the ability of the men in power to control uniform men. Do not allow security men to operate in plain dress. Manipur situation appears normal when they are in barrack. In the past when KPS Gill was super cop of Punjab, when the state was boiling, he used a technique to send away dreaded terrorists to other states instead of killing them. His techniques were useful Punjab returned to normalcy. Killing does not serve any purpose. It flares up already burning state. Try to imagine the plight of the victim’s family. Helpless as they are they might be thinking how to bear with the loss of the sole bread earner of the family. The loss cannot be compensated. Also imagine the seed of hatred that might have been sown in the young mind, who was the witness to the whole episode of his father being dragged away by the plain clothed security men. There is a saying those who think more do more. Think for a while before you carry out a mission. Security men cannot act like a machine. The latest action drifts away from the famous declaration made by Home Minister Gaikhangam to make security men pro people.
