*** I am sure every bit helps. I would not attempt to take anything
constructive contributed by NWC away from them. All powr to them
actually.
However, what we have seen in Manipur was NOT due to NWC's power of
persuasion, nor its influence at Delhi: It was because of the
impending meltdown
that outraged Manipuris were bringing to bear on Indian rule.
Furthermore, AFSPA removal from Imphal means little. It is an
attempt at 'kona haanhok potaan dhan diya'.
The Government of Manmohan Singh set up a committee to
review AFSPA - the committee includes amogst others
such notables as Sanjoy Hazarika. It submitted its
report this month.
*** That is certainly a welcome move. And I shall believe when I see
something meaningful coming out of it.

My response was to the question you posed about
whether they have done anything in the NE.
After the NCW stepped in, the hue and cry got a little
more "huer and cryer".
Last I heard, the Assam Rifles was forced to exit
Kangla Fort and they were placed under the
dispensation of the Manipur Government. AFSPA was
removed from Imphal municipality.
