The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected the Manipur Tribal Forum’s request for the Indian Army to safeguard the Kuki tribe, and stated that it would be inappropriate for the court to issue such a directive to the Army and paramilitary forces. The apex court further stated that it would put pressure on the Centre and the State of Manipur to make preparations to protect the lives of people, news agency ANI reported.
Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud urged all parties to maintain a sense of equilibrium and not participate in any hate speech.
