Added: 2026-05-05

[00:00:00]as it is, you know, there's zero trust on the government and and and I'm I'm I I won't hesitate to say it as bluntly as possible, Karthik, that the people trust in their civil society far more than they trust in the government. This is the reason why political in nature. I'm not I'm not going to use the word like instigators and all that. I'm not going to use I'm not going to criminalize disscent, but I I I'm just going to ask you. Do you think that it's being politically instigated?

[00:00:26]>> A part of it? Yes. because you know I can understand people being very very angry and upset about you know two kids of uh two kids being killed. It's it's never you know a wanting situation but the fact of the matter is that uh you know the the the response of the government the response of the forces and and you know the reach out to these civil society and people at large have been found severely wanting that is not happening you know in the last 2 three years we have been covering manipur on a daily basis you know the ethnicity is kind of trumping the statethood you know that that the pride for being called a manipuri is not there you know they irrespective of what people say let let me go to Mr. Misha sir uh I mean to say why is rally so much agitated >> uh this was not the case a month ago what has happened are we missing something >> yes Karthik we are missing quite a lot >> mhm >> this incident happened two weeks before and so far no progress on this >> so why is protest taking place every day >> pro protest will take place because you see uh it is not only this this has instigated because there was a immediately after that there was there was an attack on CRPA post at at Tong Globby and then three civilians also they were killed and after that you just found what has happened at Ukra two persons were killed and you see this conflict has started putting between cookies and Naga the worst part of it is putting that of the home minister and the honorable chief minister not a single MLA or the deputy chief minister they are coming forward to have any discussion with groups. I will tell you today what happened the complete yipok is shut down. Mapies have protested. They have told if the minister goes to open new video office in Tobal they will not attend it. Even though resident says the people they have welcomed CM's visit to Dbal but the Mirab are protesting they are asking government to find out the perpetrators.

[00:02:26]They're clearly asking find out those those cookie militants who have fired the weapon this rocket on this particular and killing these two two kids. And another case may I'll tell you there is a village this is Sakai Sinaktai if you go towards you go down Saktai village it is the Tamul Naga village it is totally surrounded by 30 villages of cookies and anytime any anything can happen now the Sakai people I mean these raas Tamul raas are going to vacate that particular particular village things have gone very bad and the JC which was formed after killing up >> Dr. Misha my question is why is that why is there is so much of agitation taking place in front >> yeah it will it will happen because you see uh both and also mira they are hand in hand of course there are certain forces who are in those who are inciting that's a different issue but they want action by the government which where what in fact nothing has happened after killing of these two kids so the JC They want no agreement with government and shut down will continue till government gives them clear verdict that yes perpetrators the koki militant should be found out and in fact practically all MLS should sit down there I'll give you two instances Karthik the deputy chief minister name her husband is the KF chief I repeat the deputy chief minister No no no see see that is okay you know we understand that you know Manipur in northeast uh has to have a different level of accommodation but uh are we are we looking at a inflection point where some sort of a compact that you know the government can function from civil secretariat breaking >> yes >> is that compact breaking >> yes it should in fact there is a breaking and in fact uh I think it is not only the MLS not only government not only the political leaders if the government and the and the secretariat must come forward the the governor and others the secretary they must come forward and in fact mira also for a discussion it is not only kokcomi leaders it's not only KNF or in fact all MLS should sit down and find out work out a module how to bring them together this is where it is lacking now okay and that is how cooki and Men is they are gaining strength and they going they >> that brings me to my my original position that you know civil society activists should work under the rubric of the state not call the shots and pressurize the state to do what they feel is correct. Uh thank you sir for joining me on the show. Thank you Vijay for being here. Uh this is all I had in my 1.4. Uh I'll see you tomorrow at the same time. Thank you and good night.
