I also narrated to him how it all started.”

The young politician from Imphal, Manipur, Maheshwar further tweeted, “But in the Kuki dominated areas, both in the periphery and hills, they have been controlling everything. The Kuki  Militants under the Suspension of Operation (SoO) agreement with the Union government are doing whatever they want. They are firing whenever they want. They are targeting the valley people whenever they wish, blocking highways whenever they wish. So, what does it signify? There have been continuous attacks.”
