I dont doubt thats the policy govt is going to apply as before. But that policy has not prevented before and people fear that will not prevent now an issue - for which most members here are expressing apprehension: demographic upset. Driving away of Native Tribes, Native Culture, Hindus by the time Govt is able to establishes control. We have seen that in Kashmir. We have seen that in Punjab. And this what people I guess are worried about in Manipur.
But given Ajit Doval sir has NE specialization - we can trust that Govt may have better gripe of the situation than we give credit to them. Lets wait and watch.
i'll just add one more bit, once in a while(years actually) we keep hearing about unsettled borders in speeches by our top people associated with our security establishment. the phrase "unsettled borders" has a larger context and implications there of, it is a phase that newly created sovereign nations go thru on their land borders, it lasts decades before it settles down. countries in central and western europe do no have internal conversations on "unsettled borders", because they have settled thru "world wars".
i have tried to visualise the core issue in the image below.
arrows represent writ and influence of the state, in border areas partial influence is always there from the neighbouring sovereign. internally no matter how much we try to play "whack-a-mole", neighbouring state can always play spoilsport for their self-interest.
ideal solution is treaty bound neighbouring state, with a clear understanding with each other that their territory should not be used against us. was attempted, and failed with pakiland.
and our neighbouring states in NE are bangladesh, china, myanmar . all of them are new sovereign states. all of them have issues arising at their boundary.
a type of solution was attempted with BD thru SHW, that understanding got disrupted because of political shifts there.
while home ministry and security establishment will continue to work on internal aspects, but the solution lies in having mutual understanding with the neighbouring state.
basically we have no easy answers for now.
