Jaanwar se badtar haalat mein hazaaron log Manipur ke relief camps mein rehne majboor hain. Meiteis aur Kukis dono hi. Request all of you to take out 5 minutes and see my report from #Manipur. People are living in beyond inhumane conditions .. they’re dying. The least we can do is know their stories. Over 58,000 internally displaced people, as I write this .. acc to official government data ..are living in over 200 relief camps across the state. And Mr PM, while you’re in the neighbouring state playing football with children, people in Manipur are sleeping on pavements meant for vegetable and fish vendors, living next to drains and gutters. Girls can’t even step out at night to use the toilets because they’re afraid they’ll be RAPED or KILLED. Because this is happening with girls inside relief camps...it’s just not all coming out in the news. And this is not for a day. Not for a week. This has been their life for three years. I repeat ..THREE YEARS. I challenge you, or any of your ministers, to come and live in these camps for 24 hours. If you can survive it, I will stop reporting from Manipur. Don’t shoot the messenger, sir. As a journalist on the ground, this is our job ...to show you this and request you, with folded hands, to please help those living in relief camps. Get them out of there. Give them humane conditions. At the very least. You can do it. You know you can. When you were supposed to come to Manipur, roads were built overnight...so why have relief camps taken three years? Why can’t the government ensure basic dignity for people who have already lost everything in a conflict they had no role in?
