Furthermore, CM Singh disclosed that earlier, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) had initiated investigations into cases suggesting a ‘transnational conspiracy’ by terrorist organizations in neighboring Myanmar and Bangladesh to wage war against the Indian government by exploiting the unrest in Manipur.
“Today’s apprehension of CKLA cadres and the recovery of weapons has yet again underscored a transnational plot aimed at destabilising both Manipur and our nation,” the CM added in his post.
