Not one, but two BSF jawans have fallen to bullets in #Manipur in the past 10 days. One died on the day Amit Shah arrived in the state. Both fell to single bullet fired from a distance. Security forces wonder who is training armed civilians. I report

As "sabotage" is once again insinuated in the #BalasoreTrainTragedy, what happened to the two cases of train mishaps--Kanpur and Kuneru--that were given to NIA for terror probe. PM had said Kanpur was a cross border plan. None were chargesheeted. I report

Kudos to for pointing out this fact. We had shared this story earlier on our account. The calling of Kukis as "militants" and Meiteis as "miscreants" should also be stopped.

Thread 1: The fact that many were armed with weapons, mostly “looted” from armouries in Imphal, was making it difficult to quell violence. “In most cases, the arms have not been looted, but rather handed over,” said an officer. indianexpress.com/article/india/ #Manipur #ManipurViolence

Volcanic report on Manipur weapon loot! #MJH #Kashmir
Quote Tweet
Just before Amit Shah's visit to #Manipur, civilians, largely from Meitei community, "looted" 3000 more weapons along with grenades and ammunition from police armoury. Despite Shah appeal for surrender, only 144 weapons have come back. I report indianexpress.com/article/india/

In a state where armed underground groups have a deep intertwined history (in hills and valley), this fresh poisoned injection has horrible consequences. Who gains politically in the hills, valley and political class from the poisoned polity? All people will pay the price.

Amit Shah's repeated assertion that Centre's efforts in Manipur would be "unbiased" on Thursday could be read as a direct commentary on N Biren Singh govt. It was this backdrop that forced Shah to spend 4 days in Manipur. I report

Bhagwat bats for Hindu Muslim unity. Asks people to shed the baggage of the past. Says some communities came from outside, but now they are our own. Says important to forget the outside link. I report

Contrary to claims of the CM security officials tell that the 40 militants supposedly killed by security officials in the last few days were not all Kuki. They also say that in some instances weapons practically handed over by security agencies. Great report.

Shah arrives in Imphal as Weapons from state armoury are "handed over" to civilians by those in the administration. Meieis and Kukis both attacking armed forces. Sources deny Biren Singh's claim that 40 "Kuki terrorists" have been killed. I report indianexpress.com/article/india/

A clearer depiction of happenings in #Manipur. Keeps showing the complicity of state govt and the concerted efforts of armed groups to make the pot boil.

Sanjay Rai Sherpuria was trying to create legacy b4 entering politics. Made his grandfather "freedom fighter", named a road in his village after his father. Got top politicians and even an ex CJI to write testimonials for him. I report from Ghazipur

Sanjay Rai Sherpuria claimed to be grandson of freedom fighter Dev Narayan Rai. Only, Dev is nowhere in govt records of freedom fighters. His office address in Ghazipur leads to a locked house. Another office, nowhere to be found. I report from Ghazipur
