The toll from the infighting has been heavy. And perhaps no one knows this better than the NSCN (IM). No record with The Sangai Express but the figure from the infighting may be higher than the clashes with the security forces in the decades old movement launched by the Naga underground outfit/s, starting from the days of the Naga National Council (NNC) during the time of the late AZ Phizo.

48 hours total shutdown in Churachandpur. United Naga Council (UNC) on record stating that it will oppose any move to bet the three Bills enacted. Joint Committee on Inner Line Permit System to carry on agitation, despite the State Government announcing that an all political party team will leave for Delhi to get the three Bills passed. Clearly things are not looking good for Manipur.

ST status demand : Two opposing voices Don’t punch below the belt

Tough to say whether the debate is healthy or not. But it is interesting to note that two opposing voices have come to the fore, with regard to the demand that the Meiteis be included in the list of the Scheduled Tribe list. It is not the case of The Sangai Express to say which side carries more weight but it is interesting to see that two opposing voices have come to the fore on this count.

New man at the helm. The congratulatory notes have not stopped coming in and the appointment of the new State unit president of the BJP seems to have infused fresh hopes in the party. This is welcome but the task must be clear to Ksh Bhabananda, the new president of the State BJP. The Assembly election is due in the early part of next year and while this will be the acid test for the new president, a sort of a semi-final is already awaiting him and this is the election to the Imphal Municipal Corporation, for which election has been fixed on June 2.
