Yes, that is what I wrote a few days back; opium minded war; opium diplomacy is dangerous since the British tried it on China once, and China is helping to reap the eastern province acquisition by hook or crook and our diplomats are cleverer than china. KR IRS 27 7 23
---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Srinivasan Sridharan <[email protected]> Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2023 at 21:50 Subject: BBC on Manipur Incident. To: Rajaram Krishnamurthy <[email protected]> *From:* Srinivasan Sridharan <[email protected]> *Date:* July 26, 2023 First time in the history of BBC, they came out with a true picture of MANIPUR VOILENCE. It is neither A HINDU-CHRISTIAN FIGHT NOR A HINDU -MUSLIM FIGHT. IT IS THE FIGHT FOR THE DOMINANCE OF OPIUM FIELDS AROUND HILL AREAS. INDIAN MEDIA WAS GIVING IT A COMMUNAL COLOUR to defame Modiji and BJP and all the opposition parties had grabbed the opportunity to kick back BJP. Congress definitely has a hand in it as it has got a CHINESE CONNECTION. MAY BE WRITTEN IN THE MOU signed by PAPPU AND HIS MOM. The naked parade could be knowingly and willingly carried out one as Woman also is involved in the billion dollar opium business AND there is a VIDEO OF NAKED WOMEN MOVING AROUND BEATING POLICE WITH A BATON snatched away from the policeman. This is BIG. A Generally Anti-India BBC acknowledges below facts regarding Manipur violence : *No its not about Christians vs Hindus or Hill vs Valley - they have lived peacefully together for ages* *Its about THE WAR ON DRUGS* *The underlying tensions in Manipur stem from a complex interplay of various factors, one of which is a crackdown on drugs in recent years. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led state government, under Chief Minister N Biren Singh, who is a Meitei, launched a controversial campaign targeting poppy farming.* *Since 2017, his government claims to have destroyed more than 18,600 acres of poppy farms, the majority of them in Kuki-inhabited areas.* *Manipur has long battled a drug-addiction crisis and is among four north-eastern Indian states bordering Myanmar, the world's second-largest opium producer* *A paper pasted on a corrugated tin wall declared local support for a "war on drugs". A local "committee for the war on drugs" urged people to stop poppy plantation and "save our generation".* *The scale of poppy farming in these parts is unclear. According to official figures, more than 730 acres of poppy farms in Imphal East district - home to 16% of Manipur's estimated 3.3 million people, and including Naga, Meitei and Nepali inhabited villages - have been destroyed since 2017.* *Then there's the brewing fault line over undocumented illegal immigrants from Myanmar, a country with which Manipur shares a near-400km (248-mile) border. Stickers bearing the message "go back, Burmese refugees" have begun appearing on storefronts and residences across Meitei villages.* *A state government panel identified 2,187 immigrants from Myanmar in four districts of Manipur until end-April. An official note spoke of a "large number of illegal migrants" and said the "recent violence was fuelled by influential illegal poppy cultivators and drug lords from Myanmar settling in Manipur".* https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-66161535 Sent from my iPhone -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
