Today is the 87th day of Manipur being converted into a war zone, where no life is safe, and people's dignity is in danger whether they live or die. Morgues are full of unclaimed corpses, because it is too risky for relatives to claim their bodies. Some people haven't been that dignity in their death, and their corpses lie in the streets to be mauled and eaten by stray dogs. Back home, their families wonder & worry whether they're alive or dead.
87 consecutive days of violence, 86 consecutive nights of terror.

Yet Biren Singh Chief Ministerhip is untouched, Amit Shah continues to be India's Home Minister, and Narendra Modi continues to be India's Prime Minister. If not for the Assam Rifles, the situation would be much worse.

India's elected Prime Minister refuses to address Parliament for fear of being questioned, refuses to addressed the nation on Manipur refuses to take steps to end the violence, refuses to appeal for peace. So what is he doing? Giving speeches in state election campaigns.

What is mainsteam media doing? Trying to protect the PM by projecting blame on the opposition.

Meanwhile, instigators are using social media & local mainstream media to spread fake news to fuel the burning fire in Manipur and to set ethnic & communal fires in the sister states of Meghalaya, Mizoram, and Assam.
