The Supreme Court has agreed to review audio recordings allegedly implicating Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh in communal violence between the Meitei and Kuki communities. The recordings suggest his involvement in promoting insurgency and allowing arms looting. The court seeks verification of the recordings’ authenticity amid opposing views on the ongoing investigation.
The Enemy Agents Ordinance, enacted to counter threats from individuals working against the state’s interests, is being emphasized in Jammu and Kashmir. The law grants extensive powers to detain and penalize those suspected of espionage or sabotage. Its application in the region aims to address security challenges, although it has faced criticism regarding potential abuse of power.
