Northeast Desk, 13th November: In a significant move, the Indian government has declared nine ‘Meitei’ extremist organizations, including the Peoples’ Liberation Army (PLA), Revolutionary Peoples’ Front (RPF), United National Liberation Front (UNLF), Manipur Peoples’ Army (MPA), Peoples’ Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak (PREPAK), Kangleipak Communist Party (KCP), Kanglei Yaol Kanba Lup (KYKL), Coordination Committee (CorCom), and Alliance for Socialist Unity Kangleipak (ASUK), as “unlawful associations” under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).
The decision is aimed at curbing their “secessionist, subversive, terrorist, and violent activities,” as the government perceives these organizations to be involved in attacks and killings of security forces, police, and civilians in Manipur. The ban covers all factions, wings, and front organizations associated with these Meitei extremist groups.
This move reflects the government’s commitment to maintaining law and order in the region and preventing activities that pose a threat to national security.
