Over 100 people have been killed in Manipur’s ethnic conflict, which has been going on for more than a month. Clashes erupted on May 3 when a ‘Tribal Solidarity March’ was organised in Manipur’s hill districts to oppose the Meitei community’s demand for Scheduled Tribe (ST) designation.
It was reported on Friday that CM Biren Singh would resign, however, he cleared the rumors stating that he cannot leave the state in such a situation. Had he resigned, then Presidential rule would have been imposed.
Let’s delve into what would have happened if President’s rule was imposed in Manipur.
President’s Rule
The suspension of a state government and the imposition of direct authority by the Centre is referred to as the President’s authority. The central government seizes control of the state in question, and the Governor, in this case, Anusuiya Uikey, assumes constitutional authority.
Such a situation forces the Election Commission to conduct re-election within six months. If broadly categorised, there are situations when President’s rule can be imposed:
a) during an emergency,
b) a particular situation in the state (unrest for a prolonged period or riots), and
c) financial emergency.
Article 356 of the Constitution of India gives the President of India the power to impose this rule, however, only in certain conditions.
First, if the President thinks that a situation has arisen in which the state’s governance cannot continue in line with the provisions of the Constitution. Second, the state government is unable to pick a leader as chief minister within the time frame set by the state’s governor.
Third, elections were postponed due to unforeseen circumstances such as natural catastrophes, war, or epidemics. Finally, the Assembly’s majority was lost due to a vote of no-confidence in the House.

What Is The Catch?
Though the requirements for declaring an emergency are similar, the difference in Manipur is that the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, or AFSPA, has been enacted.
Significantly, Home Minister Amit Shah indicated last year that the “reduction of the disturbed area” imposed under AFSPA will begin on April 1. This announcement came after the state had been subjected to AFSPA for decades. However, it has not been totally repealed and will remain in effect in some sections of the state.
The AFSPA has been in effect in the state for decades to aid the armed forces operating there in combating insurgency. The AFSPA gives security personnel the authority to conduct operations and arrest anyone without a warrant, as well as immunity from arrest and prosecution if they kill someone.
Thus, in places where AFSPA has been enacted alongside the President’s authority, it authorizes the military forces to take action against those they believe pose a threat to the state’s peace or national security.
When Was It Imposed Last In Manipur?
The government lasted less than a year after the elections in 2000. On June 3, 2001, Manipur was placed under President’s Rule following months of upheaval, suspected horse-trading, and a vote of no-confidence. It was 277 days long.
Though CM Biren Singh has decided not to resign, for now, the ethnic groups, Kuki and Meiteis have demanded the imposition of the President’s rule. In fact, the opposition parties have also demanded President’s rule be imposed in the state that has been foiled with violent ethnic clashes since May 3.

THERE WILL BE 100 MORE VIDEOS OF BEHEADINGS,RAPE,MURDER,ARSON AND CHILD BURNING ! THEY WILL GO VIRAL ONCE THE NET IS FREE !
THE PROBLEM IS CHAIWALA + HINDOOISM !
THE CONSTITUTION TREATS SCHEDULED CASTES AND TRIBES,AS HINDOOOS,AND BY AND LARGE IN ALMOST ALLSSTATES OF INDIA – BESIDES MUSLIM AND CATHOLIC STATES,ONLY HINDOOS GET QUOTAS
SO MUSLIMS AND CATHOLICS,GET NO AFFIRMATIVE ACTION GAINS OF A “MATERIAL NATURE”.HENCE, THEY ARE PUSHED INTO POVERTY AND THE FRINGES !
NOW LOOK AT NORTH EAST AND MANIPUR ! HINDOO MAJORITY + CHAIWALA IN POWER + POOR MINORITIES + MINORITIES IN THE HILLS WITH LIMITED LAND/POWER/WATER AND FARMING + NO JOBS + POOR EDUCATION + REDUCING GOVTT EXPENSES + BURGEONING SALARY COSTS OF STATE ========= EVERYONE WANTS GOVTT JOBS AND QUOTAS !
GOVTT JOBS = PENSION + POWER FOR CORRUPTION + CHANCE FOR NETA TO PLANT THEIR SAPPLINGS,AS THEIR MOLES AND STOOGES IN THE STATE !
BUT QUOTAS ARE FOR FOR HINDOO SC/ST ! S0 WHAT DO MUSLIMS + KUKIS + NAGAS + TRIBALS IN MANIPUR DO ?
DRUGS ! ARE DRUGS FARMED IN NORTH BLOCK !
NEIN !
THEY ARE FARMED IN THE HILLS AND JUNGLES,WITH NO ROADS ND NO SAT COVER ! LIKE IN KUKI HILLS ! WHAT ELSE SHOULD THE KUKI DO ? DIE AND STARVE ?
THE COURIERS AND PEDDLERS INCLUDE NAGAS AND MUSLIMS !
NOW WHO ARE THE KUKIS ? THEY ARE PART OF THE CHIN-KUKI DNA FROM MANIPUR TO MIZO AND MYANMAR ! THESE ARE NOT HINDOO DNA PEOPLE AND ARE NOT INDIANS ! NORTH EAST IS NOT INDIA !
THE GOI HAS NO MONEY TO SPEND ON NORTH EAST/MANIPUR OR EDUCATION OR INFRA OR INDUSTRY OR EXPAND THE STATE GDP ! THE ADMIN + PANDOO POLICE IS COMPLETELY CORRUPT AND ALL HINDOO VERMIN !
ECONOMICS + DNA + POVERTY + STATE APATHY + RELIGION + BIAS OF THE STATE = SUFFICIENT REASON FOR PARTIION OF MANIPUR ! LET THE KUKIS MAKE THEIR OWN DESTINY !
THE GOI WANTS THE NORTH EAST TO BECOME A DRUG CORRIDOR TO AND FROM MYANMAR ! THEY WANT NORTH EAST TO BE STONED ON DRUGS + PORN + PROSTITUTION ! MOST NORTH INDIANS PERCEIVE NORTH EASTERNS AS LINKED TO DRUGS + PORN + PROSTITUTION ! WHAT IS A NORTH EASTERNER TO DO,IF HE IS DISCRIMINATED AGAINST,BY THE HINDOOS AND THE HINDOO STATE ?
DIE ?
A DRUGGED OUT NORTH EAST – MEANS THAT THE INDIAN ARMY AND THE CAPF ARE PERMANENT FIXTURES ALONGWITH AFSPA – WHICH IS WHAT THE HINDOO STATE WANTS – AS THEY DO NOT TRUST THE NORTH EAST – DUE TO THEIR RACE AND RELIGION ! SIMPLE DRONE AND SAT TECH CAN TRIANGULATE THE POPPY FARMS AND THE GOI CAN DESTROY THEM OR BIOINFECT THEN WITH A VIRUS TO RUIN THE CROP FOR MANY YEARS !
BUT IT IS NOT BEING DONE ! WHY ? CHAIWALA WANTS IT THAT WAY !
THE DRUG CORRIDOR INCLUDES CHANDEL WHERE 2O INDIAN PANDOOS WERE KILLED A FEW YEARS AGO IN AN IED ATTACK BY KUKI-CHIN REBELS ! AND THEN CHAIWALA DID A RAID ON MYANAMAR !
AND WHAT IS HAPPENING IN MANIPUR IS PAYBACK FOR THAT RAID ! IF MYANAMAR REBELS (CNA/ZRA) ARE IN MANIPUR AND THEY ATTACK THE PANDOO BSF/ASSAM RIFLES AND ARMY AND STEAL THEIR ARMOURIES – WHAT WILL HAPPEN ? BSF AND ASSAM RIFLES ARE NECK DEEP IN THE DRUG SMUGGLING ! WILL THEY STOP THE CNA ?
SUPPOSE THEY ATTACK THE SEIZED NARCOS IN GODOWNS ! THEN WHAT ?
THIS IS THE REIGN OF CHAIWALA AND AKHAND BHARAT !
HENCE PARTITION IS THE “ONLY SOLUTION” AND THE KUKIS + NAGAS + MUSLIMS + TRIBALS NEED TO TAKE THIS TO THE UNHRC AND THE UNGA – AS A VIOLATION BY CHAIWALA OF ALL THE 4 ARTICLES OF THE UNITED NATIONS Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, AND A VIOLATION OF ALL THE “PARIS PRINCIPLES”
NO INDIAN OR HINDOO CAN GIVE JUSTICE TO THE KUKIS !
Y DOES CHAIWALA ALLOW EXPORT OF EPHEDRINE AND PSEUDO-EPHEDRINE TO NORTH EAST AND MYANMAR ?
SIMPLE ! CHAIWALA WANTS THE LABS IN CHIN LAND OF MYANMAR TO MAKE AMPHETAMINES AND EXPORT IT TO THE NORTH EAST !
CHAIWALA WANTS NORTH EAST TO BE ON OPIUM + HEROIN + AMPHEMAT + PORN + PROSTITUTION + CRIME + HIV ! HE WANTS THEM TO BE DRUG COURIERS !
Y ?
CHAIWALA WANTS TO BRAND THESE NORTH EASTERNERS AS DRUGGIES WHO ARE “NOT HINDOOS” ! HINDOOS WILL NOT DO THIS !
THIS NARCO POLITICS OF CHAIWALA HAS 5 GOLDEN AIMS

MAKE HINDOOS FEEL THAT THEIR RACE/RELIGION AND CULTURE IS SUPERIOR
DEPRIVE NON HINDOOS OF JOBS AND QUOTAS
SEIZE FOREST LANDS AND FARM LANDS OF NON HINDOOS ON THE PRETEXT OF DRUGS AND GIVE THEM TO HINDOOS
LINK NON HINDOOS TO NARCO TERROR AND THEN PMLA AND UAPA

NO ONE WANTS HINDDOOS ! WHICH IS Y NSCN SAID – NAGALAND FOR CHRIST ! THE MESSAGE IS CLEAR !
CHAIWALA SAYS MANIPUR IS NARCO TERROR !
ANPAD !
CAN DRUG DEALERS DESTABLISE A STATE FOR MONTHS – ON AN IB ? IS THIS CHAIWALA SECURITY ?
