Manipur
Chief
Minister
Okram
Ibobi
Singh
addressing
the
Conference
of
Chief
Ministers
on
Internal
Security
in
New Delhi on February
7
said
that
the
almost
unchecked
trans-border
movement
of
the
Indian
insurgent
groups
and
the
continued
existence
of
their
camps
in
Myanmar
posed
the
real
threat
to
internal
security
of
Manipur
and
the
Northeast
region,
according
to
Sangai
Express.
He
said,
“It
is
no
secret
that
most
arms
and
ammunition
used
against
our
security
forces
and
the
State
police
forces
are
smuggled
in
from
Myanmar.
It
is
also
known
that
whenever
our
army,
Assam
Rifles
and
the
State
Police
launch
operations,
the
militant
groups
seek
and
find
shelter
in
neighbouring
areas
of
Myanmar.” He further stated, “Another serious angle is the active involvement
of
these
insurgent
groups
in
smuggling
of
huge
quantities
of
narcotics
like
heroin.
The
proceeds
are
being
used
to
finance
in
the
procurement
of
sophisticated
weapons
and
maintaining
their
leaders
in
foreign
countries
and
their
cadres
in
India.” |
