Zomi Students' Federation (ZSF GHQ) Condemns

 LAMKA, 02 JULY 2023 (PR): Recent events have proved beyond any doubt the Nexus between the different sections of Meitei Society; their political leaders and their Armed radicalised groups such as Arambai Tengol or the Valley Based Insurgent Groups (VBIGs) or their womenfolk (Meira Paibi). The Nexus between the different sections of Meitei society has again resulted in the brutal killing by decapitation of David Thiek whose death ZSF deeply mourns. 

The Chief Minister’s visit to Laingoubi Ching today resulted in fierce fighting between Meitei insurgents and tribal village defenders in the area. It is obvious that the CM himself transported the attackers as part of his official convoy, in order not to be stopped by Central Security Forces maintaining a buffer zone. The increasing use of official channels and use of women and children so as to gain an advantage over the tribals has to be stopped and more determined action by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and Central Forces should be taken up. 

The tolerance for the illegal yet unpunished activities of the Meira Paibis by the Central Security Forces continues to baffle us. They accompany attackers and in most cases, ride along with them and go into action at the first sight of intervention by the Central Security Forces who try to end the violence the attackers they accompany perpetrate. This role of accompanying the attackers is now being played by the Chief Minister himself which ZSF condemns in the strongest terms. 

It is unfortunate that yet another member of the Zomi-Kuki-Hmar, David Thiek, has fallen victim to the complicity of the political leadership and the Meira Paibis with their armed terrorist groups.
