A author, journalist and consultant for several Christian television channels, who was recently in Manipur, both in the valley and in the hills, and spoke widely to people of both the Meitei and Kuki communities, says that the horrifying videos and reports that surfaced in the last week of killings, burning and rapes are “just the tip of the iceberg”. Babu Verghese says that the full truth, when its known, will be far worse than what we know today.

Mr. Thapar your coverage on Manipur is more than journalism! We need you to continue to dig deeper. This is a complete failure of the system and there are many more stories to uncover. Please interview victims.
Good job I would have definitely contributed if I was not that broke
True journalism must not die
Thanks to you because of aware citizens like you this give strength to them
Not only failure of the systems but also a concerted vicious plan by the people in power.
Great
I used to play Clash Royale with my Friend from Manipur 4-6 years ago, he was a Christian, that time he was considering PM Modi as a Smart and Active Prime Minister, now i am unable to contact him for any news update bcoz of internet problem there....😢
Karan Thapar is doing a fabulous job !!!
You Too Sir 🫡
Taqqiya Kitman Maruna Tawriya at full speed.
You have extensively cover it more sir, almost everyday! Thanks to Karan and Major for their keen concern for Manipur 👌👌👌
@ meitei were dragged into this conflict by the kuki zo to complish their aim of seperate administration . Few months after CM N biren Singh gift Churachandpur medical College to the people of Churachandpur ( The same government that lend RT CPR COVID testing machine when Mizoram doesn't have none and when the Mizo needed the most in the year 2020,) .ILTF volunteer burn down open gym in CCPUR district which was to be inaugurated by CM two three days before the start of the conflict( mentioned in sangai express). ITLF then organised rally on May 3 opposing ST demand by Meitei . On the same day some miscreants probably from hill volunteer burn down Kuki Anglo Memorial gate in Kangvai ( Kuki - Zo) dominated area and blame it's to the Meitei. ( I personally called my freinds in Churachandpur regarding this and they told me meitei will never do such things and on the other it is a kuki dominated area) Few hours after the incidents Kukis Zo from CCpur , Kangpokpi, Moreh burnt down all the innocent meitei residing in these town even chasing away their fellow Christian ( Meitei) from CCpur. This trigger angers and frustration to the Meitei and retaliated the same on May 4 after the Kuki attack on innocent Meitei first i.e May 3. Kuki (Soo )militants come down from the hills and burnt down houses in Imphal East district bordering Kangpokpi starting from Ekou and killing 9 villagers on the spot by the kuki on may 3 night.The kuki mob burns down several house until they reach pukhao.(10 km from Saikul i.e Kuki dominated area)The helpless meitei for the sake of their safety had no other choice but to loots arms from near by Arm depot to defend their home and children, they don't have any arms as they are not ready to face this type of surprise attack from the kuki. Retaliation on may 4 is done by the Meitei because of provocation from their counterparts on May 3. Kukis killed many innocent Meitei but doesn't record on phone after advice from their leaders .Meitei are not agressive people they even don't have their own arms to defend themselves when the conflict began but the Kuki Zo have around 35 underground militants readily available to attack the Meitei on that day.
Meitei doesn't have war with the Kukis before and we don't expect this type of hatred from the kuki..it is also the mistake of some sections of the Meitei to let suffer our beloved kuki brother and sisters living peacefully in Imphal. But I also understand when the Meitei learn that all their relatives houses in ccpur, Kangpokpi, moreh are burn down by the kuki in their homeland , the retaliation was inevitable.
In the end it's is the innocent people that suffer the most. May this conflict end soon and justice be served to the people irrespective of community.
Major sir you did a great job too,❤️
We the Kuki-Zo community will proudly stand by our ethics. We do not kill innocent civilians even in the time of war such as this.
1. Even on the 4th of May as news of what had happened to our community in the valley had already become common knowledge, our women folk formed human chains in Lamka town to safeguard meiteis being evacuated from their localities. Our men respected that and did not intervene. We did not repay in kind by hunting down innocents. There are videos to attest to this. Not to deny that there were also instances of exceptional people from the meitei community who helped many Kuki-Zos to safety. But they were that - the exception. For the Kuki-Zos, it is general ethics.
2. Most of the deaths from the Kuki-Zo Community happened in imphal during the first few days of the violence, at the hands of marauding meitei mobs, in the very places they had called homes. Most of the deaths from the meitei community happened in the following days, weeks and months as their militants came to attack Kuki-Zo villages. We did not kill them in their homes and in the streets as had been done to us in the valley. Those who stayed home, never had anything to fear.
3. 5 meiteis who had wandered into Kuki-Zo areas in Kangpokpi district were caught and released unharmed because they were unarmed civilians. Imagine what would have happened to our brethren had the situation been reversed. There are videos of this incident on the internet, along with proof from the Army to this incident.
4. An 80 year old meitei woman who had been left behind by her family in Sugnu was taken care of by the Kuki-Zos and later reunited with her family. Again, there is video evidence to attest to this fact. We do not harm innocent civilians. No innocent man, woman or child was ever harmed by the Kuki-Zo community in cold blood.
5. We build bunkers to hunker down to defend our villages. We retaliate when attacked to defend our homes, our lands and our people. We do not gather in the hundreds and thousands to set out to attack meitei villages. What happened in the intial days of driving out the meiteis from Kuki-Zo dominated areas was in response to the longest night of our history when our kinsmen were hunted in the city, their homes and churches burned and their lives taken in the most savage of manners. Yet, as we drove them out, we did not harm fleeing people.
Kuki-Zo may be tribals, but in all this violence, the meiteis have proven themselves to be the more barbaric community. We can hold our heads up high knowing we stand on the higher moral ground and as such, with the truth on our side, the nation and international community is slowing coming together to hear our voices and plead justice on our behalf.
Thank you so much for the detailed information. I believe what you say and that you are a person of integrity. May God bless you.
God bless you brother, Even in the midst of such attrocities your community has shown faith and tolerance . I pray that both communities forgive each other, and continue to live as peaceful neighbours." Our fight is not against flesh and blood but against principalities of darkness." I also pray that Meities realise that they have been tricked and used as a political tool. May peace and love prevail in Manipur
Thank you for detailed information, I am sorry that you have to experience this atrocities, first thought was anger and then fear being a minority myself may be I am next. DEEPLY SORRY , THANKS FOR YOUR STRENTH OF CHARACTER . Fight for the life we are given . Prayers

@@elizabethjohn5480 These kuki have completely brainwashed the media n the the rest of india. Reason for the riot
1. HC order govt for recommendations for meitei in ST list. So, tribal community have organized really on 3rd of may to protest against st demands of meitei .There r 34 communities living together in manipur. None have problem except kuki.
2. India is a democratic country. If kuki had enough evidence or proof to prevent meitei from inclusion in ST list, why have they not gone to higher authority in a peaceful manner. There is judiciary to handle the situation. Instead, they have started to burn the meitei home in churachandpur and nearby village called torbung.
3. Lastly, govt have started to destroy the encroaching village in reserve forest and protected forest.
5. Govt have also started identifying Myanmar immigrants and started war on drugs campaign by destroying thousands of acre of poppy cultivating hill for drug free state.
The ethnic clash has a deep root of beyond outsider mind to understand. They try to be a victim for the clash because almost all the the illegal activities as a mention earlier has affected kuki more than anyone else. So, they believe the govt is against the kuki people for all the wrongdoing.
Karan Thapar is bold and faithful, very very good man.
Babu Verghese he is a Christian, fake tears. Did you ever see him crying for the post poll victims of West Bengal, kashmiri pandits, here also he cried only for kuki Christians, he never mention how meitei villages are burned down from ccpur, kangpokpi and moreh
@@DontbeselectiveI clearly see your envy
@@DontbeselectiveAre you crying?
@@Dontbeselective rss bakth spotted
@@Dontbeselectiveyou are being selective. Your own god won't spare you because you have hatred towards others in your soul.
I am here refuting the claims made that Kukis burnt down meitei churches in the hills, with citing one Church (Napat Christian Church) that Dr. Homen mentioned in his interview with Karan Thapar.
I am saying this as someone who lives just 100 metres away from Napat Christian Church.
May 3rd was the start of the clashes between the two ethnics.
And on 4th May, the Arambai Tengol in large numbers came to Sugnu area {point to be clear : Sugnu bazaar lies in the point where 4 districts meets, Bishnupur, Churachandpur, Chandel, Thoubal -- Bishnupur and Thoubal is where the meiteis resides and Ccpur and Chandel is where the Kukis reisdes}…
The locals in Sugnu area from both communities agreed for peace and there was an agreement that even if there is clashes on other part of Manipur. Here in Sugnu, we will maintain peace which was the agreement. Even-though unfortunately, on 28th May (2:50 am), the clash eventually broke out.
Coming back, Napat - meitei village is connected with Makhao-Mollum and M. Bongmol village (a kuki village)
The christian church in Napat is a tin roof, mud wall (Kacha Church), with the capacity of around 30-40 peoples only.
The meitei christian in Napat consists of just few households (less than 10 households if I am not wrong). This is the only meitei church ever in sugnu area.
The meitei locals feared that the Arambai might spark the clash even here in sugnu area. So the meitei locals in Napat themselves demolish the church under the pressure of the Arambai. (And mind you, not all Napat residents are christian, just around 5-10 households).
****** point to be clear : the Arambai Tengol themselves was going to demolish the Church in Napat … But since, the church was barely 10 metres away from a kuki village (Makhao Mollum).. Fearing that the Arambai demolishing the church might anger the Christian Kuki - so the residents of Napat themselves demolished the church.****
Never will a Kukis christian burnt down another christian church even if that community is the adversary.
And I believe is the same with the Hindu or Muslim - a Hindu man will never burnt down another Hindu temple just because they are the enemy. So is the same with Muslim.
The claims made by this meitei christian person is baseless and out of logic.
No one should be angest any religious beliefs everone has right to be who they want to be in this world ..
Everyone have to give account to God and God only
We all have to be human kind 🙏
As a resident of Manipur
I totally agree with your point
The fact is that not a single Christian Church either from both community were burnt by the Kuki Zos from beginning till present
This was a fake claims made by the Meiteis
Meiteis rapist and liars will always create drama with fake allegations against the Kuki Zos
Mr Varghese also told Karan Thapar that he was only told , he don't have a proof either
@@lalmuankhupzou3303 So, to TAME all these happenings all party politicians should put their heads together to cool down such kind of happenings in whole MANIPUR AREAS.
This comment is spot on. I'll have to agree every words. If only the Meetei mobs knew they are just used as a weapon for someone's propaganda. Mr Biren is just another puppet. I don't know how, with all those bloods in their hands, they managed even a minute of sleeps at night.... There will come a day when they will regrets their actions in this bloodshed.
I was at Sugnu Tribal on 28th . We resisted till after noon and then had to leave because we were outnumbered.
It is sad that such atrocities are happening in the beautiful state of Manipur... What genocide is taking place... Wake up India...raise your voices you will be next....let love and not hate prevail... We are all Indians
This is the true face of India. Just like the Gujarat massacre and many many more.
unite against BJP..and Hindutva terrorists
Manipur
Only the shallow man loses responsiveness to the woes of other's lives, as he sinks into narrow suffering of his own. (Copied from the book I have been reading) ex. Modi, amit shah, yogi, bjp and RSS. The Telegraph depicted modi as a crocodile. ,(when a person becomes a laughing stock. Earlier norm was to demit from office or commit suicide,)
When Manipur was burning, modi went to US and shook hands there and smiled there.
Modi instead of doing Kartavyam at hand, is in a great hurry to make a name for himself,: new sansad bhawan, vande bharat train, bullet train etc. After seeing Wuhan City in China, modi might be thinking of making a similar city in India (right now seeing that Wonderful City in day time and night time version in my 42 inch TV. Real wonder). But what is the immediate work required to be done for India?? Misplaced priorities, of course started when he left his wife without a guarantee.
Anyway, in the very near future. 1.43 billion Indians cannot all become Hindu. In the very near future Modi cannot make India a hindu nation. In the very near future, he cannot change our Constitution. Mark my words
PS: modi, the frequent traveller has a passport, on first page of which mentioned
Satyameva Jayate.
Is it happening as a part of Modi's Gujarat model
Babu Verghese, your report is half truth about Kukis burning Meitei churches, and there are no Kukis in the the dead Valley to attend church in Killing field Imphal. Babu Verghese you don't know enough to give interview
Whatever is happening in Manipur is Designed and executed by RSS / BJP. This is a typical format of Modi / Shah be it Gujarat 2002 or other riots..
At the root that is the truth. The fruit of divide and rule that was seeded by British and carried on by RSS (Royal secret service) in cahoot with religious merchineries dividing common pool of brotherhood and blood lineage in different path is surfacing now. The harvest of past blunder is what we see today. Behind these engineered chaos many ugly things are happening on both side.
Yes very much! It was pointed out again by BBC yesterday-- it was planned by design!! And so was the 2002 Riots!! But the people of India have elected PM Modi on the basis of such hatred even in the second term. Biren Singh is playing a similar role in Manipur that Modi played in Gujarat in 2002. That is why the BBC documentary was blocked by Modi.
Very true this is the legacy of gujrat riots, the man who supposed to protect, was complicit in the genocide,cand arson. Sangis have been criminalized, the different tentacles of the octopus rss must be dismantled.
Not only Gujarat..Delhi n now Manipur
Just make sure to remember the BJP supporters so they can't escape accountability later or change their story
As a Christian i can boldly say that no Christian will have the gut or bold to burnt church 💯
Exactly
That's affirmative.
I received a very disturbing video of a Kuki guy whose head has been cut off and kept on a bamboo fence and this was the caption that came along with the video.
“Name: David Hmar Țhiek
Tribal village Volunteer of Langza village, Manipur.
His village was attacked by Meiteis on July 2 in the early hours. He was captured and tortured in the most inhumane way possible. They chopped off his hands, taunt him to search for it. They chopped off his legs and then gauged his eye out. Then they beheaded him, hanged his beheaded head on an bamboo fence. They burnt all his other body parts.
The Public Relations Officer (PRO) of BJP Kumbi MLA was allegedly pictured carrying the beheaded head of David along with with a machete.”
This is horrific and I almost threw up watching the video of a severed head. There are many other videos of inhumane violence I’ve seen and it’s all crossed the line. Gone too far. It’s no more humane. It’s worse than animals.
That's not all. The perpetrators even cursed and abused the beheaded head
An Ex IAS Mr Shashikant Senthil said if a riot which goes on more than 48hr then the riot is 100% Sponsored by the local government or it it happening with the help of local government. Do they want us to belive that Military can't control rogue civilian gang if that is the case how can they capable of protecting the border against China and pak? How can these BJP politician go home and have a good sleep after having this much blood in their hands. 🤷♂️
"Army is not getting political backing and are not getting proper directions from the state government. But they are the only saving grace. Otherwise kuki community would have been wiped off by now" This was told in an Interview by BJP Kuki MLA.
According to him, Army is not incapable. But they don't have the cooperation from the state government as the state government and the police force is behind the meitei militants.
@@auxshy i am not questioning the uniform personals capability i am question the Bjps inability to think people are stupid to belive everything they say.
Truly said
It's actually the opposite...without the blood they don't sleep.
Very true they could have stopped it within hours...only if they wanted . Administration has their secret informants who would inform the administration about such mass activities beforehand. The continuence of violence for such a long duration points that State is involved from the very beginning.
Thank you Mr. Varghese for the facts just as you have seen. I lived among Meitei’s and Kukis for four decades. My heart bleeds. Thank you Mr. Karan for trying to expose the truth and draw the attention of PM.

@@onkarchadha Largest Christian population in Kerala at 6.14 million (18.4% of state population), Majority in Nagaland at 88%, Mizoram at 87% and Meghalaya at 75%. Plurality in Manipur at 42% and Arunachal Pradesh at 30%. Significant populations in Goa at 25%, Pondicherry at 6.3% and Tamil Nadu at 6.2%.
In every state Christian minorities are living in peace. The only problem for the Kukkies is Manipur is that they are only 41% against the Meities population who r mostly Hindus. So, the GoI and the BJP State government intends to do an ethnic clinching. So sad. On the other hand Christian minorities in Nagaland, Meghalaya and Mizoram nearly 99% of the people r Christians. So the dirty politics of the BJP would be counter productive in the states.The tribals rights of these states, including land rights r well protected. Alas, the Kukkies in Manipur r going to lose their tribal rights .It's a unfortunate happening.
Only in Shillong capital of Meghalaya, few sq km of land rights were given to outsiders, (non-tribals) by the British colonial rule, when Meghalaya was part of Assam. Even the earstwhile Bengal Presidency used Shillong as it's Summer capital.

When the world roar. Why Modiji, Amit Shahji, Arjun Mundaji & Smriti Irani still silence. ?? Bjp care only governing not the people ??
Maybe Modi want to wipe out kukis clan who is majorly of Christians. Even churches destroyed so annihilation of Christians and churches can make whole Hindu state maybe. Modi is not there to protect people life's. Only to develop country and take forward in economy by laying huge prices on every product.
BJP has got nothing to do anything about it. I have lived in Manipur for 2 and half years in 1999 -2002. The whole problem started in 1949 when Jawharlal Nehru removed the Maithi who were Sheduled Tribe upto that time and made them SC. No Maitis are allowed to buy any proparty in Manipur except lmphal valley. So 80% of the people of Manipur (ln 1949 the Maitis were 80% of the population of Manipur which has been reduced to just 55% now because of this draconian law of Nehru) These riots between Maitis and Kukis and Nagas has been going on since 1949 mostly during Congress rule even before BJP was formed and Congress is responsible for their divide and rule policy which they mastered from the British.
When the world roars Modi will never hear and just ignore it because the people who roar are bent upon destroying India as they cannot tolerate the rising India.Ok. And another thing with this Channel.They never speak about the rapes in Bengal just after the elections.Also many rapes happening in many States across India.
Bec,, they are unquestionable leaders,, they just wanted to talk about others,,if there is other party regime, what would happen, just imagine ,,,,

Is it 2023 or we living in medieval times, what savagery, did not expect this from communities who call themselves as very tolerant and peaceful.
All this reflects adversely on the centre and state govt.
Hope they do not get away with all they did like what happened in Gujarat.
Let's keep up the hope and avoid name calling... And question everything
Where there is modi there is senseless violence.
Extremely heart breaking to hear the situation in Manipur.
Thank you Karan sir for the great work you are doing, putting Manipur where it should be. Your brutal honesty in asking pertinent questions is commendable, especially in a world dominated by dishonest and biased journalism.
Thank you,Mr.Karan for covering every detailed versions of Manipur condition.Hope peace comes soon
Thanks Bubu Verghese for revailing the role of Arambai and Meetei Leepun and the act of Meira Paibis. ❤
Hats off to the one and only genuine journalists Karan Thappar 🎉❤ 👏
Mr. Shekhar Gupta (The Print) is another elite journalist..
Church and its drug income next.
Babu Verghese he is a Christian, fake tears. Did you ever see him crying for the post poll victims of West Bengal, kashmiri pandits, here also he cried only for kuki Christians, he never mention how meitei villages are burned down from ccpur, kangpokpi and moreh
We have elected nine years ago the most shameless person who had the same record what we are witnessing today in Manipur
He being tukde gangester is shame to indians! 😮
Thank you Karan Thapar and Babu Verghese for this frank and honest interview. The cry and appeal for help from Mr Varghese to the ruling party to stop this genocide unfurling right before their eyes and their deafening silence is truly heart wrenching. How can such helplessness and misery of our fellow brothers and sisters be ignored??? ...Yes, God All-Mighty is watching and will retribute in a measure HE deems fit .....
Thank you Karanji for inviting Dr Babu Varghese. I admire at the courage Dr Babu for going on such a fact finding journey to burning Manipur at this age and speaking out what you have seen, heard and smelled
My heart is splitting apart.
Naga churches are standing tall but kuki churches are destroyed
Cry then

@@Dontbeselectivethe police in West Bengal and Rajasthan have taken care of the violence. The police of Manipur haven't. God is watching, every drop of blood will be accounted for. God bless 🙏
Verghese Ji thank you especially for your concluding remarks, that God is watching and He is in a position to judge. Hope people in power will act and act wisely.
If true journalism has a face, it certainly is the wire. History will forever remember Karan for true journalism.
Thank you sir for showing what the people of Manipur have gone through neglected by the governments
Thankyou Sir and all citizens for standing with the truth
Thank you Karan and Babu Varghese for sharing some truths of the Manipur and Babu's tearful appeal to the Govt. of India... 😢
Great Journalist.. your interview makes the guests drink water with tense.. that much fearless you are and concern you have.. Hats off Sir
Be kind to Tribals everywhere in India today. Heart breaking interview
Be also be kind to non tribals.🙏 Love and respect should come from everyone whether tribal or non tribal.Not all tribals are holy cow and not all non tribals start hatred campaign.This much we as a human being should understand.Most times when two young siblings fight(started by the younger one),the elders scold the bigger one for making the smaller one cry. It's our human psychology but as educated individuals let's atleast try to see from a neutral lens.
Thanks!
A small correction, Thapar sir. The 18-yr-old who was captured and raped on 15 May was not killed. She had a narrow and miraculous escape.
Thoughtless comment.
@@raginisingh3016 what is so thoughtless here
For many women, being raped is a fate worse than death.
The girl that was been abducted from the ATM booth?
The two women are hiding in the nearby police station. With the help of Meira paibis, arambai tenggol and other meitei miscreants forcefully taken out from that police station an parade naked before gang raped by the meiteis.....(Watch ground report from India today)
I object the demolition of meitei christain churches by the Kuki community. We the Kukis don't even enter the campus knowing that it is a holy place for the christains. As it is the most respected site for the christains and we fear God more than Cm,Pm or anyone.
Biren Singh should step down as CM and replace Modi as PM immediately
nice jokes😂
😅
@nickblue11: I can’t stop laughing 😂 And where does modi go? The ISIS want him ASAP. He suits there agenda.
@Beingkuki India is being a joke rn brother. But we'll support Zo homeland for our kuki brothers
Acha majak hai 😂, I would Rather Vote for Modi 10 times than voting Biren 😂😂
Mr Thapar please go to Manipur for you to know everything first hand. You will know the truth first hand.
Thank you for new insights.
I had privileged of meeting Mr. Babu Varghis. He is wonderful man with genuine understanding of current affairs.
Thank you Karan Thapar for your efforts in bringing the truth to the public and thank you Mr. Varghese for the efforts you have taken to get to know the truth on the ground and share it to the world.
We Christians have been praying for Manipur since the beginning of this violence and our God has assured us that He is watching and will rescue His people. Another warning from God to one of the visionaries in our prayer group is that the Northern part of India is going to be destroyed by Natural calamities. So if the people of India want to save this country they ought to go down on their knees and ask for mercy and stop any kind of violence especially against Christians.
Yes North India may disappear if ganga dried up
could you please guys stop defiling God's name? If you want to comment just comment, don't pull God's name.

I love my God and fear his judgement and I know what I am talking about. I don't know which God or gods you believe in. However, , Christians till this very date hear the voice of our God and receive messages, whether you like to believe that or not. If people don't take the warnings seriously, it will be their loss. Please read the Bible. From the beginning of creation God has being sending prophets to warn the people before he allows any major destruction to His people, be it through the people in the world or natural calamities.
Karan Thapar is "the messenger of kuki".. help restore internet connectivity in valley areas of Manipur and let's see the true picture
Restore internet connectivity in the valley? What about other places in Manipur? :)
He is not messenger for kuki only, he tried to find the truth, you dislike him because your lies and hatred, you barbarious acts are exposed, please always keep in mind Truth prevails, there are many people like him who are endowed with true humanity and it doesnt matter which religion did they belong
"Babu Verghese" Ji.. your one-sided story is interesting. Thank you.
Dear Mr. Thapar thank you very much and May God Almighty protect you.
I am not only short of words but also do not have words to commend and praise you for the task you have undertaken to expose the government and to awaken the general public of India. Your place in the history of Indian journalism and in the history of this great country is assured.
Your name will always come to the forefront whenever the clouds will darken the skies of democracy of this country.
Gbu.
Like Karan we everyone should be bold and defiant and come forward to preserve the integrity of our country
Thank you so much Karan Thapar ji. Please continue to stand with the truth. 🙏🏻
the final plea of Baba Varghese is making my heart cry...
Karan thank you for being a true journalist.
We share the Grief of Mr.Vergeesh. Please believe in GOD, time will certainly Change
In order to verify the no. of meitei women killed by Kuki-Zo, you have to visit the meitei displace people and ask for number of women who were killed or rape. I am pretty sure you wont find even a single meitei victim of rape or murdered by Kuki-Zo people.
No, they can also be misled or forced to make up stories of lies. Meiteis are good at weaving stories of lies and in fact, they are fond of doing that way.
Seeing as how Meitei community would even claim that the Rapist was only trying to save the Kuki girl, I will not believe any words coming from meitei people unless there is solid proof for it. They have shown themselves to be liars and spread propaganda from the very start.
Sir, your channel is some of the few channel which i watch and follow, rest of the media channels are leaning towards one side only... Pls keep up the excellent work in spreading the truth..
Thank you mr.karen tapar🎉 Good blessed of both🎉🎉
Manipur is smelling blood. This one sentence is enough to describe the situation in Manipur 😢
This Babu journalist is totally biased and talking by siding to Christianity
There is no single meitei house left unburnt and standing in kuki dominated areas, whereas there are many kukis still lived in Imphal
This story about Kukis burning 4 meitei churches require thorough verification.
Its a hearsay. He didn't verify,
Thanks to Karan Thapar for asking that over and over again
I am here refuting the claims made here that Kukis burnt down meitei churches in the hills, with citing one Church (Napat Christian Church) that Dr. Homen mentioned in his interview with Karan Thapar.
I am saying this as someone who lives just 100 metres away from Napat Christian Churches and witnessed it.
May 3rd was the start of the clashes between the two ethnics.
And on 4th May, the Arambai Tengol in large numbers came to Sugnu area {point to be clear : Sugnu bazaar lies in the point where 4 districts meets, Bishnupur, Churachandpur, Chandel, Thoubal -- Bishnupur and Thoubal is where the meiteis resides and Ccpur and Chandel is where the Kukis reisdes}…
The locals in Sugnu area from both communities agreed for peace and there was an agreement that even if there is clashes on other part of Manipur. Here in Sugnu, we will maintain peace which was the agreement. Even-though unfortunately, on 28th May (2:50 am), the clash eventually broke out.
Coming back, Napat - meitei village is connected with Makhao-Mollum and M. Bongmol village (a kuki village)
The christian church in Napat is a tin roof, mud wall (Kacha Church), with the capacity of around 30-40 peoples only.
The meitei christian in Napat consists of just few households (less than 10 households if I am not wrong). This is the only meitei church ever in sugnu area.
The meitei locals feared that the Arambai might spark the clash even here in sugnu area. So the meitei locals in Napat themselves demolish the church under the pressure of the Arambai. (And mind you, not all Napat residents are christian, just around 5-10 households).
****** point to be clear : the Arambai Tengol themselves was going to demolish the Church in Napat … But since, the church was barely 10 metres away from a kuki village (Makhao Mollum).. Fearing that the Arambai demolishing the church might anger the Christian Kuki - so the residents of Napat themselves demolish the church.****
Babu Verghese he is a Christian, fake tears. Did you ever see him crying for the post poll victims of West Bengal, kashmiri pandits, here also he cried only for kuki Christians, he never mention how meitei villages are burned down from ccpur, kangpokpi and moreh
More than 5 meitei churches burned, around 10 in ccpur. I'm from ccpur
@@Dontbeselective you must be lying i.e. if you are a meitei.
Sir Karan Thapar you are the most noble and Truthful citizen.Salute for your Truthfulness and bravery.
I have confirmed from the ground in Lamka, and have asked ITLF leaders, and they categorically stated that, forget about burning churches, they hv not even touched Hindu temples
Who wants to come and say "I'm proud to be India here" after all this ?
If they do say it, they should get slapped immediately with full force.
@@phillipholland6795 😂 I think they are all sleeping now 🤫🤫🤫 or hiding 😜
Dear honorable PM it great that you have come on screen after a long time of since violence was going on in Manipur state. We appreciate your speach and concern you have shown in your words. But people know Govt’s role in Manipur Violence, WE WILL DISPLAY OUR ANGER IN THE UPCOMING GENERAL ELECTIONS -2024.
Nero fiddled when Rome burnt. History repeating.
What concern did he show. He deserves to rot in jail for the crimes he has committed.
@@vargheseb8602 Rightly said bro !!!
Sir, both of you are looks like❤and your conversations is heart touchs

Great and atruthful thapparji all journaliist must be like you
Really appreciated digging more in details and providing more detailed news. However, Karan, The Wire would love to hear more from Meitei representatives or views of Meiteis. "In a war, both are wrong, both are right"
Shocking
Karan sir there are more unseen worse videos hiding by arambai tengol and leepun acting against tribals kuki....
Karan sir there r more unseen worse videos hiding by Kuki militants acting against Meitei..
Just before the END comes hubris & utter arrogance and then comes the MIGHTY, SHAMEFUL & PAINFUL fall !
