On May 8, 2023, the MTFD brought this pressing matter to the attention of the court, expressing its lack of confidence in the state and its police force to safeguard the tribal population. The petition raises concerns regarding the credibility of assurances provided by the Union of India (UOI) and the Chief Minister of Manipur, alleging their involvement in a communal agenda targeting the Kukis.
The public interest litigation (PIL) underscores the urgent necessity of apprehending and prosecuting all the leaders implicated in the violence. The MTFD emphasizes that relying solely on empty assurances from the authorities will be inadequate and emphasizes the need to address the underlying causes of the violence, restoring peace and justice in the state.
