The systematic crafted hidden agenda of the Dominant Community whether opposition or ruling in the communal Government of Manipur is exposed now for the first time. The perceived ignorant tribals were anticipating this motive long before. After 20 years they came in the name of autonomy as Manipur District Council Act. When the Tribal rejected, a handful of ignorant people in the name of councillors were nominated to push through their agenda of land grabbing. Now the actual colour of dominant community both in the colour of ruling and opposition have been exposed in the so called democratic assembly session represented by them 40 seat out of 53 member house assembly. This can be befittingly called as “The cat is now out of the bag”.
A private members resolution was jointly moved by the Opposition members in the so called Manipur Legislative Assembly for making suitable land legislations in the name of indigenous people when they are not even indigenous people. The resolution was jointly move by the Meitei MLAs and Ministers O.Joy Sing, Dr. NG.Bijoy, RK.Anand, Dr. I Ibohalbi , RB Koijam and participated and supported by ruling party MLA, I Hemochandra and MLA, N Mangi. Mr. O Joy Singh, leader of opposition was urging for the presentation of a comprehensive statement from the state government so as to allow the citizens (meitei) of Manipur to reside in any part of the state territory. What territory is he trying to refer, when land does not belong to meitei. All land in tribals area is owned by the people and concern tribe community. Kindly refer to High Court judgement Honourable O.Joy? there is no No government land in the hill areas. It is all private land. Well done! Nothing can be hidden the truth will come out no matter how high or sophisticated it may be.
The Dominant community administered government, instead of addressing the grievances of the oppressed tribals they continue to come out with systematic acts on the notion that majority have the power to do anything. Yet the some tribal so called people representative and social worker will blindly support to get their scheme and contract recommendations through. We will continue to research on all issues and in a few days we will be coming out in details for the people to judge.
Now the responsibility of tribal intellectuals, academicians, political leaders, youth, women, students and villages chide and chairman wisdom will be tested for the future generation “When tribal land is taken away then he is as good as death”
