Repolling in six polling stations in Outer Manipur on April 30
Polls to be Reheld in Six Manipur Polling Stations on April 30
Polls to be Reheld in Six Manipur Polling Stations on April 30 Repolling will be held in six polling stations in the Outer Manipur Lok Sabha constituency on April 30, officials said. The repolling was necessitated as unidentified persons had damaged EVMs and VVPATs before the completion of voting at four of these six polling stations on April 26, while EVM malfunctioning was reported at one polling station, and voting could not be completed at another due to ''threat and intimidation by unknown miscreants'', they said. Voting at four polling stations in Ukhrul assembly segment, and one each in Chingai assembly seat in Ukhrul and Karong in Senapati was declared null and void and repolling will be conducted on April 30, a notification issued by the office of Manipur's chief electoral officer said. Around 76.06 per cent of 4.84 lakh voters exercised their franchise during polling in 13 of 28 assembly segments of Outer Manipur Lok Sabha constituency on April 26. Voting was held in the remaining 15 segments, along with the entire Inner Manipur Lok Sabha seat, in the first phase on April 19.
Manipur: CM N. Biren Singh Condemns Attack on Security Forces in Bishnupur, Pledges to Apprehend Attackers Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh strongly condemned the militant attack on security forces in Bishnupur district that claimed the lives of two CRPF personnel and vowed to nab the culprits without delay. In an interview with PTI Video on Saturday, he said efforts to apprehend the culprits were underway and that they would be brought to justice. Two CRPF personnel were killed and two others injured after militants attacked an IRBn (India Reserve Battalion) camp at Naranseina in Moirang police station area early on Saturday. The deceased were identified as sub-inspector N Sarkar, a native of Assam's Kokrajhar district, and head constable Arup Saini of Bankura district in West Bengal. Claiming that peace is being gradually restored in the state, Singh highlighted the successful conduct of Lok Sabha elections, indicating increased confidence among people. He, however, lamented the targeting of security personnel who were deployed to protect the state's people. ''It is unfortunate that our jawans are being targeted. They are here to protect us,'' Singh said. Dismissing Congress leader Jairam Ramesh's allegations that pressure was exerted on voters to exercise franchise in favour of an NDA partner, Singh asserted that the Election Commission takes action based on observer reports, not on the basis of social media posts. ''People participated enthusiastically in the election. Re-polling had to be conducted only in 11 polling stations,'' he said. Ramesh had on April 26 shared a video on X claiming that voters in Ukhrul district in Outer Manipur were being pressured to support the Naga People's Front, BJP's ally, instead of the Congress. The Congress leader accused the security forces of not taking any action and lamented that such activities are taking place in one of ''the most important elections of our lifetime''. Addressing the ethnic conflict between Meiteis and Kukis, Singh outlined government initiatives to restore peace, including the deployment of paramilitary forces, assistance for displaced persons, and reconciliation efforts through peace committees. ''The conflict should not have happened. The government took a lot of steps to contain the situation. Union Home Minister Amit Shah spent three days in the state and talked to the communities. Steps have been taken for displaced people. The central government has provided help in every way,'' he said. Responding to opposition criticism, Singh underscored the BJP government's commitment to reconciliation and unity in Manipur, contrasting it with past policies. ''This is not the first time that such an incident has happened in the state. Manipur was a monarchy, the British included it in India and they worked on the policy of divide and rule. When Congress came to power, they also promoted the British policy. Only after the BJP formed the government, we tried for reconciliation,'' Singh added. On the issue of drug trafficking, Singh highlighted the government's 'war on drugs' campaign initiated in 2018 that led to significant seizures and a reduction in poppy cultivation. ''The BJP government started a 'war on drugs' and has seized heroin, opium and other narcotics worth over Rs 60,000 crore over the last few years,'' he added. Singh also asserted the necessity for the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and Inner Line Permit (ILP), emphasising the roles of those in safeguarding the interests of indigenous communities and maintaining security. He also elaborated on the efforts to enhance connectivity and infrastructure development in Manipur, emphasising the importance of initiatives like the Moreh highway and the Golden Quadrilateral project in promoting economic growth and development.

CRPF Personnel Tragically Killed in Militant Attack in Manipur Two CRPF personnel were killed and two others injured as militants attacked a camp of security forces in Manipur's Bishnupur district in the early hours of Saturday, police said. The militants attacked an IRBn (India Reserve Battalion) camp at Naranseina in the Moirang Police Station area, they said. ''The militants fired indiscriminately from hilltops, targeting the camp. It started around 12.30 am and continued till about 2.15 am. The militants also hurled bombs, one of which exploded in the outpost of CRPF's 128 battalion,'' a senior police officer said. He also said the deceased were identified as sub-inspector N Sarkar, a native of Assam's Kokrajhar district, and head constable Arup Saini of Bankura district in West Bengal. The injured were inspector Jadav Das and constable Aftab Das, he said, adding that they received splinter wounds.

Inciting backward classes: CM Siddaramaiah lashes out at PM Modi
Inciting backward classes: CM Siddaramaiah lashes out at PM Modi Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for inciting the Backward class communities against Muslims. He addressed the huge public meeting in Rabakavi Banahatti and called upon the people to ensure the victory of Bagalkote Congress Lok Sabha candidate Samyukta Patil. After the first phase of elections to 102 Lok Sabha constituencies in the country, Modi has clearly got the hint that the BJP will lose. For this reason, he is telling terrible lies. He is inciting the backward classes against the Muslims by telling the lie that the reservation of the backward classes will be taken away to give it to the Muslims. He warned the backward caste-communities to be careful, he said. Modi also lied about reservation. He has no knowledge of the Constitution, CM said. CM Siddaramaiah said that it was the BJP that opposed the Mandal report. It is the same BJP that opposed the Mandal report and instigated the backward classes to resort to suicide. Rama Jois (Former Governor of Bihar) is from BJP who went to court against the reservation of backward classes. It was the same BJP that protested when women were given reservation in local bodies, he added. The voting on 14 seats was held on April 26 in Karnataka alongside 12 other states/Union Territories. In the second phase, the voting was held in 88 Lok Sabha constituencies across 13 States, in Union Territory, including 13 in Rajasthan, 20 in Kerala, eight in Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh, five each in Assam and Bihar, six in Madhya Pradesh, three each in Chhattisgarh and West Bengal, and one each in Tripura, Manipur, and Jammu and Kashmir.

Manipur CM Denounces Attack on Security Forces, Pledges to Apprehend Perpetrators Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh on Saturday strongly condemned the militant attack on security forces in Bishnupur district that claimed the lives of two CRPF personnel and vowed to nab the culprits without delay. In an interview with PTI Video, he said efforts to apprehend the culprits were underway and assured that they will be brought to justice. Two CRPF personnel were killed and two others injured after militants attacked an IRBn (India Reserve Battalion) camp at Naranseina in Moirang police station area in the early hours.

Congress' 'factory of lies' won't work forever: BJP's Nirmala Sitharaman on party's manifesto promises Rejecting the BJP's claims that the Congress' election manifesto resembled that of the Muslim League, party president Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday asserted that ''Modi's factory of lies'' won't work forever. Addressing an election rally at Kayakuchi in Barpeta district of Assam, he said unemployment is a big problem in the country and that 65 per cent of educated youths have no jobs. ''The INDIA bloc will surely come to power and stop the BJP. Modi's BJP will be decimated. Once our government comes to power, we will control price rise and our focus will be on poor people. We will fill up 30 lakh vacancies in government departments,'' he added. Terming Prime Minister Narendra Modi a ''sardar (leader) of liars'', Kharge charged him with lying about providing two crore jobs annually, bringing back black money to the country and giving Rs 15 lakh to each citizen, and doubling farmers' income. ''Modi's 'factory of lies' won't last forever. He even called the Congress manifesto Muslim League's manifesto and spoke lies about it,'' he added. Kharge also alleged that the BJP was ''looting'' the country's wealth and handing it over to the rich. ''PM Modi waived Rs 16 lakh crore loans of his few rich friends. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. But we will never loot and divide the country like BJP and RSS that are experts in creating fights between communities, castes and religions,'' he claimed. He also criticised Modi for not visiting Manipur even once despite the state reeling under ethnic clashes since May last year. Kharge said that while party leader Rahul Gandhi led the 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' crisscrossing the country, Modi was working for 'Bharat todo' or dividing the nation. ''Prime Minister Modi is continuously attacking the Congress and the Gandhi family as he is scared and trembling in fear of losing power,'' he claimed. ''One who can't feel the pain of the poor does not have the right to stay in power,'' Kharge added. On the employment scenario in the country, he claimed, ''Joblessness is a major issue in India, with 65 per cent of the educated youths being jobless. We will reserve 50 per cent of posts for women. We will give Rs 1 lakh as apprenticeship stipend to every unemployed youth during his or her training period till he or she gets a proper job.'' Kharge addressed the massive crowd seeking votes for party candidates Deep Bayan for Barpeta constituency and Garjan Mushahary for Kokrajhar. ''You (Modi) always ask what Congress has done in 70 years. We ruled for 55 years and created the wealth that you and (Amit) Shah are selling now. You are destroying everything,'' he added. Kharge also attacked Modi for raking up food habits of people, and Mughal tenure in India. ''Modi was the chief minister of Gujarat and he did nothing there,'' he alleged, while criticising the Prime Minister for failing to control rising prices of essential commodities such as petrol, diesel and LPG, among others. Slamming Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma over an earlier post regarding caste system in India, Kharge claimed Sarma supports 'Manusmriti' and caste hierarchy as described in the book. ''He said Shudras should serve the higher castes. Such a person is your CM. I am ashamed that if such an educated person speaks like this, how will the country progress? If such Manuvadi thinking is there, how will we get equality?'' he questioned. Kharge, who is a Dalit, said that ''if Manu's philosophy is followed, then he would have to go and serve Sarma'', who is a Brahmin. In December last year, Sarma had uploaded an audio-visual post on his social media handles, including X and Facebook, that he claimed was from Sloka 44 of Sanyas Yoga from 18th chapter of Gita. The animated video stated that farming, cow-rearing and commerce are habitual and natural duties of the Vaishya, while serving the three 'varnas' -- Brahmin, Kshatriya and Vaishya -- is the natural duty of the Shudras. Sharing this video, Sarma had said, ''Lord Sri Krishna himself described the types of natural duties of Vaishya and Shudras.'' This sparked a massive political row with opposition leaders denouncing what they called the ''BJP's Manuvadi and regressive ideology''. Facing a volley of criticism, Sarma later deleted the post from all his social media platforms and apologised for uploading the post with casteist remarks.

Manipur: Assam Rifles free education initiative brings Kuki-Meitei students together under one roof in Ukhrul By Ravi Jalhotra Assam Rifles in Manipur's Ukhrul have provided shelter to 37 girl students, all belonging to Meitei, Kuki and Naga tribes at their Centre of Educational Excellence. The Centre has been opened in collaboration with an NGO to provide education opportunities to the students including two tribes Kuki and Meitei that have been involved in violence against each other. Out of 37 students in the Assam Rifles Centre of Educational Excellence, there are 22 Naga, 6 Kuki and 8 Meitei with one Pangal girl. Ukhrul is located at a five hours drive from Churachandpur, a district that was the epicentre of the ethnic violence. Assam Rifles in a statement said that the Centre of Educational Excellence shimmers as a ray of hope to provide the much-needed assistance to the distressed candidates preparing to achieve their career goals. Their first steps towards a noble career now have a concrete path to walk on. The facility that you see here is a byproduct of the relentless efforts by NIEDO and the Assam Rifles which has made it possible to begin this initiative under extremely challenging circumstances, an official statement issued by Assam Rifles said. Earlier, clashes had broke out in the northeastern state in May last year, when a tribal solidarity march organised to protest against the Meitei community's demand for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status turned into violence. The tribes that were involved in the violence included Meitei and Kuki communities. Talking about the initiative of the Assam Rifles, one of the Kuki girls, who belongs to Churachandpur, one of the worst violence-affected districts in Manipur, said, she was immensely helped by the Assam Rifles. We feel safe in the centre here as there is no discrimination. I believe only education can improve the condition of Manipur. We are 37 girls and all are from different tribes. We do not feel any difference here. All of us aim to complete our studies and bring the change that is required for the betterment of our society, she said. To this, another girl from the Meitei community added that she was there to fulfil her dreams. We all have been given a good opportunity. At times I do miss my family but here at this centre, we all have become each other's family despite belonging to different tribes. I also think good education can bring a lot of positive changes in our society, the girl said. Kangpokpi district, dominated by the Kuki community was also one of the worst affected places during the violence. A girl at the camp who belongs to this district, said, all the educational institutions had to be shut because of the violence. None of us could afford to complete our education in such an environment. We cannot thank enough the Assam Rifles for giving us this opportunity, she said. A girl from Ukhrul also added that at the camp there is no discrimination between any of the girls. She said they live like one family. We are all safe here and we have been given this big opportunity to complete our education. I am not sure in such a hostile environment how much will we be able to do for our communities but for now, things are better for us, she added. According to senior officials, a few of these girls were rescued from conflict-hit zones in October 2023 and were brought to the Assam Rifle Centre from Churachandpur district. They were airlifted and were escorted to safe areas in bulletproof vehicles. Assam Rifles also added that this is the most courageous step by students and their parents to join the ARCEE who are present here today and have dared to dream and make their dream a reality irrespective of the circumstances. The ARCEE promises to nurture your courage and shape your dreams to ensure you succeed. The infra that has been prepared and the faculty that are present here are the best that are available in Manipur and are committed to provide you with a conducive environment to prepare for your future challenges. The routine planned and the activities thereof will equip all these students with the tools to achieve their goals in life, the paramilitary force added. (ANI)
Manipur official condemns heinous killing of CRPF personnel, demands swift action
Manipur official condemns heinous killing of CRPF personnel, demands swift action Security advisor to Manipur government, Kuldiep Singh, on Saturday issued a stern warning to the group responsible for the attack on a camp of security forces in Bishnupur district, which resulted in the deaths of two CRPF personnel and injuries to two others. Speaking to reporters, Singh said, ''Whoever has committed this act will face severe consequences. We are mobilising all necessary resources and agencies to identify and apprehend the perpetrators.'' ''The militants came and fired at the IRBn (India Reserve Battalion) camp at Naranseina in Moirang police station area in the early hours of Saturday. Though it was dark, the forces retaliated. Out of the four injured, two succumbed to injuries,'' Singh said, adding ''these forces have come from distant places to maintain peace in this region.'' Singh added, ''Starting today, we have instructed all security forces, including Assam Rifles and the army, to intensify operations. We are formulating strategies for day-to-day operations. We will leave no stone unturned in our investigation to bring the perpetrators to justice.'' Reacting to recent IED explosion that damaged a bridge in Kangpokpi district, Singh expressed concern over attacks on national infrastructure and central forces. ''I have seen that groups are now targeting national infrastructure such as roads and bridges. They are also attacking central forces. This cannot be tolerated. We will probe everything and take action against the culprits,'' he said. Expressing surprise at the attack on security forces, Singh said, ''We did not anticipate such assaults, especially considering that both Meitei and Kuki militants have historically refrained from targeting forces engaged in maintaining peace. We have always strived to maintain neutrality between both communities. In the past, both communities have welcomed the presence of central forces, so why attack neutral forces now?'' The deceased were identified as sub-inspector N Sarkar, a native of Assam's Kokrajhar district, and head constable Arup Saini of Bankura district in West Bengal, police said. The injured were inspector Jadav Das and constable Aftab Das, police said, adding that they sustained splinter wounds.
