“These reports demonstrate a systematic denial of institutional failure, ethnic targetting, and state complicity,” the KOHRT said in its letter to the NHRC. It added that the action taken reports submitted earlier were “incomplete, misleading, and legally insufficient”, relying on what it called “selective data”.
In the reports, the Manipur government has said that allegations that the State “chooses to support and assist” militants/terrorist groups of the dominant community were “wrong and misconceived”.
