NEW DELHI: A Manipur NGO on Friday sought the Supreme Court‘s urgent intervention in disarming Kuki militants to prevent possible annihilation of the Meitei population living near the hill districts and presented evidence, including photographs, of Meitei settlements which were burnt during the ethnic violence being effaced using bulldozers and earth movers, reports Dhananjay Mahapatra.
Senior advocate Jaideep Gupta presented an application seeking disarming of Kuki militants to a bench of CJI D Y Chandrachud and Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra.
The NGO, Global Meitei Foundation, alleged a huge consignment of arms and ammunition used during the ethnic violence was supplied from Myanmar, and claimed Kuki-Zomi militant groups were openly displaying their sophisticated weapons during uniformed rallies and parades to instil fear in Meiteis.
