Drone Attacks on Militants in Assam and Manipur: A New Chapter in BJP’s Brutality

The Indian government stands at the forefront of severe human rights violations under Modi’s regime. The state has become a patron of violence, fueling bloodshed and chaos across Manipur and Assam, where Indian security forces are carrying out genocide against the Kuki tribes and ethnic minorities. The latest escalation sees India using drones to target militants, intensifying an already volatile situation.

Manipur’s Genocidal Crisis: Persecution and Brutality

Since May 3, 2023, Manipur has faced the worst ethnic violence, leading to the displacement of 60,000 tribal people. Over 300 Kuki tribes have been denied their basic rights, living in constant persecution. The violence against women, with rape and exploitation used as tools of war, highlights the brutality of the conflict.

Drone Strikes: A Provocation Against Humanity

On July 14, the Indian military launched three drone strikes using 150 Israeli and French-made drones targeting ULFA, PLA, and RPF camps. These attacks, carried out near the India-Myanmar border, resulted in the death of ULFA senior leader Nayan, and severely injured 19 militants. The strikes, especially one during Nayan’s funeral, show a complete disregard for human life.

Indian Army’s Denial: A Failed Attempt to Cover Up

While the Indian Army tried distancing itself from the strikes, ULFA confirmed that witnesses from Arunachal Pradesh can attest to the attacks. India’s attempts to cover up its actions expose the government’s growing irresponsibility and lack of accountability.

Resistance in Manipur: Villagers Fight Back

On July 14 and 15, the Indian Army and police raided Moluhoi village in Churachandpur District. The local population resisted fiercely, blocking roads and trapping the Indian forces for six hours. This was a clear sign of growing defiance against the military’s violence.

BJP’s Genocidal Agenda: Targeting the Kuki Community

Under the BJP government, Indian forces are actively working to eliminate the Kuki community while supporting the Meitei tribes. In Manipur, there is no rule of law; anyone deemed undesirable is quickly branded a militant and killed. The situation has degenerated into a militarized war zone where the military holds unchecked power.

Amnesty’s Damning Report: India’s Indifference

Amnesty International’s May 2025 report on Manipur confirms the Indian government’s failure to address the crisis. The displaced communities are still living in inhumane conditions two years after the violence erupted. India’s lack of a comprehensive recovery plan shows its disregard for human lives.

False Claims and Deceit: India’s Failed Promises

Despite the Indian Ministry of Home Affairs’ false claims of providing ₹2.17 crore for the rehabilitation of displaced people, Amit Shah later admitted that the funds had not been approved. This further exposes the Indian government’s deceptive tactics and its failure to provide meaningful relief to those suffering.

Urgent need of Action: A call for Global Accountability

India’s escalating violence in Manipur and Assam represents a new chapter of military brutality and oppression under the BJP government. The use of advanced drone technology to target militants and civilians alike highlights the disregard for life. The failure to address the humanitarian crisis and suppress human rights violations has plunged the region into uncontrollable instability. The international community must hold India accountable for these actions and demand immediate intervention to stop the genocidal violence in these regions. The time for action is now—before this tragedy spirals further out of control.
