00:00As a society, we are ashamed that such incidents have taken place there.
00:06But, it is even more shameful to politicize the incident that has taken place there.
00:13I agree with the opposition that violence has taken place there.
00:35But, no one can agree with this violence.
00:39I agree with the opposition that violence has taken place there.
01:06It is your fault.
01:08Why are you blaming me?
01:12It is your fault.
01:13We are going to ask questions.
01:15And you are trying to blame us.
01:19You are the one who is politicizing.
01:21We are not politicizing.
01:23The Prime Minister has not gone.
01:25The entire country knows that the government is not ready to discuss the issue in Manipur.
01:36I wrote a letter to the Prime Minister asking him not to delay the discussion.
01:47But, he did not want to discuss the issue.
01:49He wanted to oppose it.
01:52If he was not satisfied with my actions, he would have asked the Prime Minister to discuss the issue.
02:00The Prime Minister would have thought about it.
02:02Do you think that you can silence me by raising your voice?
02:07You cannot silence me.
02:09The people of Manipur have sent us here.
02:13For the past 6.5 years, the Indian People's Party has ruled Manipur.
02:18Since the formation of the Indian People's Party in Manipur, there has not been a single day of curfew in Manipur.
02:25There has not been a single day of lockdown in Manipur.
02:28There has not been a single day of blockade in Manipur.
02:31And the aggressive violence has almost ended.
02:34The history of the Indian People's Party has been going on for the past 6 years.
02:40In 2021, there was a change of power in Myanmar.
02:47The military regime came to power in Myanmar.
02:53The democratic government collapsed.
02:55There is a Kuki Democratic Fund there.
02:58It started a movement for democracy.
03:01When the Kuki Democratic Fund started a movement for democracy,
03:05the military regime started to put pressure on them.
03:11And since Myanmar is a free border, there is no fencing there.
03:18And not from today.
03:19Not since independence.
03:21There is no fencing.
03:23So, a large number of Kuki brothers started to come here as refugees in Mijoram and Manipur.
03:31Families started to settle.
03:32Where would they settle?
03:33They started to settle in the jungle.
03:35And in a way, in other parts of Manipur, there was a feeling of insecurity that our population will change.
03:43We saw that.
03:45At the same time, in 2022, we decided that we cannot open the border.
03:52We will have to make a border.
03:54Fencing has to be done.
03:55We have completed 10 km of fencing.
03:5860 km of work is going on.
04:00And a survey of 600 km is going on.
04:03Until 2014, there was no fencing.
04:08Then there was an unrest.
04:10Because the population there is very low.
04:13In the valleys, there are Matais.
04:15And in the mountains, there are Kuki and Nagat tribal brothers.
04:18So, there is a lot of pressure on the change of population.
04:22That our population will come to a low level.
04:25So, for this, from about January, we started to introduce all the refugees who came there.
04:35We took their thumb impression, eye impression.
04:38And the thumb impression and eye impression were put on the water list and the negative list of the Aadhaar card.
04:45It is not acceptable that someone is sleeping in the control room of the government.
04:50Still, the way the population increased, the feeling of insecurity spread among the Matais.
04:58In the meantime, a rumor spread on April 29 that 58 refugees had been declared as villages.
05:10Now, with the rumor of declaring villages, a very big unrest started in the valley.
05:16And that unrest also, we drove the jeep with the microphone.
05:19It was said that no village has been declared.
05:21But now, when the fire spreads, it spreads.
05:23It is a matter of disbelief.
05:25So, they thought that this is permanent.
05:27So, there was an unrest.
05:29After that, the work of putting oil in the fire was decided by a high court in April of Manipur.
05:37Which ran a long petition for years, suddenly.
05:41Suddenly, neither the Tribal Commission of the Indian government took a letter,
05:48nor the Tribal Department of the Indian government,
05:51nor the Gurumantralaya of the Indian government,
05:53nor the Manipur government.
05:55And suddenly said that before April 29, the Matais will be declared as tribal.
06:02This caused a lot of unrest in the mountains.
06:05There was a lot of unrest among the tribals.
06:07If the Matais become tribal, then we will lose our jobs.
06:10It is a matter of competition and it is natural.
06:12Without any legal procedure, an order was made.
06:15Because of which, there was already unrest up and down.
06:19There was unrest up and down.
06:21And on the 3rd, there was a clash in a valley.
06:24And after the clash, riots started, which have made the situation unstable so far.
06:30Now, why didn't this situation go?
06:33Why didn't this go?
06:35Don't compare it with the Matais.
06:37This is a situation of public riots.
