In a chilling reminder of the fact that the citizens of the State are living under the whims and megrims of Central paramilitary forces, passengers, from the border town of Moreh and travelling to it, have been harassed under the pretext of frisking and security checks for quite some time. Things come to a boil after personnel of a paramilitary unit compelled both a hypertensive individual and a pregnant woman to walk by foot for about half a kilometre. The fact that the former was not in the pink of health was obvious to everyone but the security personnel perhaps were too keen to follow orders that this all too apparent fact was oblivious to them.
In the case of the pregnant woman too, let`™s give a benefit of doubt to those brave soldiers of the decorated `Sentinals of the North-East`™. Discretion is the better part of valour, as a saying goes. People who have the rights to bear arms are constantly asked to display valour, and chivalry is what differentiates armies with great traditions from rag-tag armies of uncouth, semi-literate thugs. It`™s safe to assume that the celebrated highly-disciplined personnel of the Assam Rifles acted with discretion by compelling the pregnant woman to walk, turning their back on any notions of chivalry which is an adjunct of valour.
We are now aware that such incidents were getting so commonplace that the stoical citizens of Tengnoupal, and Chandel, couldn`™t put up with it anymore and were forced to impose the eight-day road blockade in protest against the irrational imposition of restrictions on the Imphal-Moreh Road. Even if the restrictions were enforced and timed according to an order of a former DGP of the State, as some newspaper reports suggest, the manner in which such orders have been followed defy any logic. Such indiscreet adherence to orders have railed even the State government which finally showed, some semblance of a, spine aftermath the detaining of a Cabinet minister of the State. A similar incident in the past had rocked the State after the then State Health minister, Ph Parijat was detained and humiliated by a Major of the 7 Assam Rifles posted at Sagang in Bishnupur. The incident has occurred seven years after the former Health minister had to suffer humiliation after an Indian Army Major stopped his cavalcade and detained him. That incident anticipated the recent incident involving the Rural Development and Panchayati Raj minister Francis Ngajokpa.
The State including those in the government has the right to feel indignant as, in the words of the deputy Chief Minister, `disrespecting an elected member of the State is akin to disrespecting the State`™. Even if the State government has reacted strongly against the arbitrary exercise of power by an officer of the rank of a Major in the Indian Army who in violating a protocol has gone beyond his brief in discharging his duty, what remains to be seen is whether the State government has the will and the vision to stop such arbitrary exercise of power by security forces in the future once and for all.

IMPHAL, February 13: Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh during his Manipur visit should apologise for describing the people of North Eastern states as immigrants, stated CPI national secretary Atul Kumar
IMPHAL, February 13: Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh during his Manipur visit should apologise for describing the people of North Eastern states as immigrants, stated CPI national secretary Atul Kumar Anjan during his visit to the State for the 21st State Conference of the Manipur State Council, CPI held at the Huyen Lallong Manipur Thang Ta Cultural Association, Irilbung, Keirao. The two-day conference will conclude on February 15.
Speaking as a special guest on the opening day of the convention, Atul Kumar Anjan said Manipur is a land of heroes where a patriot like Hijam Irabot was born. Giving his revolutionary greetings to comrades attending the function, he said the visit of Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh is an opportunity for him `to smell the dust of the land of a Hero`™.
Welcoming Rajnath, he said, the tagging of people from the North-East as `Immigrants`™ by the BJP was unfortunate, adding that the Union Home Minister on behalf of his party and the Government of India should apologise to the people of Manipur and assure to repeal AFSPA,1958.
He said the BJP is a political party whose president Amit Shah is charged of having committed murder and is out on bail from a court. In such a scenario, how can we trust PM Narendra Modi`™s slogan `Achhe din aa gaye`™ (good time has come), he added.
He lamented that BJP is only promoting corporate houses rather than uplifting the marginalised sections. He said some of the business men have increased their fortunes after the BJP came into power.
Further stating that the assurance of the Prime Minister to allocate Rs 15 lakhs each to all the account holders was a total lie, he said the statement has been termed as a slip of tongue by the party president Amit Shah. He however asked as to how PM Narendra Modi can also make the same promise of allocating the said amount in his speeches at 153 different locations if were a slip of tongue. He said he wonders whether Narendra Modi is a regular liar or habitually makes slips of tongue.
On the other hand, he said, PM Narendra Modi wears a suit worth Rs 28 lakhs with his name embossed in golden fibres, especially made for him in London.
He said the state lacks industries, survives on horticulture products, has no access to potable drinking water and has no proper road connectivity. He said that the State was ruled by the UPA government and now the NDA is in power at the Centre. He mentioned that the failed projects initiated by Congress government must be streamlined by the BJP government.
Atul Kumar said the present government must concentrate on the Loktak project to make adequate drinking water and power supply available to the state.
He further said the day was near for the CPI to shine in the State for bringing development in the State.
The CPI members took part in a rally from Kangla to Irilbung before the convention. The locals of the area also contributed rations for the convention. Secretary of CPI Manipur state Council Dr M Nara hoisted its party flag at the convention spot.
The opening function of 21st State conference was also attended by Member National Council CPI N Mangi, veteran party member Moirangthem Ibohal, Kshetrigao local K Mangi, Padmashree Gourakishore Sharma and other leaders of CPI.

The memorandum, apprised the Union Home Minister with regards to the hazardous of working environment of the journalist in the conflict affected state of Manipur.
It said that even as the situation is steadily improving, occurrence of high handedness of the paramilitary forces, particularly the Assam Rifles which is under the Ministry of Home Affairs, has became an immediate concern of late and drew the urgent attention of the Union Minister.
