Crackdown on Hmar militants
[Courtesy: The Telegraph]Silchar, June 4: Security forces have claimed to have cracked down on the Mansami National Christian Army (MNCA), a nascent tribal outfit comprising Hmar youths active in Churachandpur district of Manipur and Cachar in south Assam in a three-day joint offensive.
The operation that began on Monday was carried out in two phases — near a Shiva temple in Bhuban Hills in the Tezpur hill range in Sonai block of Cachar and Churachandpur, located nine and 24km respectively from this town.
The outfit based in Churachandpur, a bastion of Hmar tribals, was launched on March 16 this year.
What has given a new dimension to its activity is its religious orientation.
The MNCA that aims at spreading the hegemony of the Christians in Cachar district, recently desecrated the Shiva temple by roughing up Ramayan Das and Rajkumar Singh, the two priests who filed a case against the militants.
The attack drew sharp criticism from the Vishwa Hindu Parishad.
Army sources said eight cadres of the outfit were picked up in two phases last night. .The arrested include Lalthupui Pampi, 33, Ramvhhung, 30, Ramchouand, 29, Derepian, 53, Leirikham, 29, Sansumanga, 31, Lalmalswam, 29 and Rimni, 30.
Pampi, the self-styled commander of the outfit, is from Langthuli village of Tipaimukh in Manipur, police said last night.
The 5 Assam Rifles Battalion, that coordinated the operation with police and the CRPF, handed them over to Sonai police around 8 last night.
Two rifles, a pistol, some bullets, four Bibles and eight jackets bearing the Cross were seized.

Christianity has no place for those who are delusional and spread HIS name through violence. We are not living in the 18th 19th century anymore. Some early Christian leaders committed the grave mistake of forced conversion. Today we shall pray for all the victims and also ask God to bring some sense into these so called "Christian" militants.
Hotupa chu, i ngaihdan te ziah hmasak ber tur a lawm, keimahni min zawh daih a... :-) Kan hre ve chak a nia i ngaihdan, hotupa.
thanks for being the first comment. i find it hard to discuss, well you are right. i don think this should be the way to proclaim Gospel. The word of of God is enough for our weapon, we are not call to fight with someone instead to share our love with our enemies. This is really bad and it spoil the name of our Lord and Christianity. As our BIble says "You'll reap what you saw" i think they deserve what they did. But anyway it's good that if we can remember them in our prayer at least sometime. I felt so sad and bad and i really don't recommend it. Let God be with them. Pu L.Keivom says "they are foolhardy (invet huoi)"i think that's true.
My sentiments exactly....or maybe, even devout Muslims are quite distressed by those who disdain the name of Allah for their selfish ambition
Violence is never advocated in any religion. Remember the Master rode a donkey proclaiming a message of peace
