Imphal, Dec 20: Three organisations of Manipur have submitted a memorandum to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to “protect the life, liberty and property of the people of Manipur” by bringing to an “end” the ongoing violence in the northeastern state.
The memorandum was submitted by the Delhi Meetei Co-Ordinating Committee (DMCC) in association with Meitei Alliance (MA) and the Global Manipur Federation (GMF).
The memorandum was submitted on December 17 after a global sit-in urging the Centre to deliver peace and security in the state, which has been in turmoil since May 3.
The organisations have also raised the issue of “infiltration” of Kuki-Chin militants into the state from the neighbouring country, adding that the Meiteis “living across the globe” have to raise their voice because there “has not been adequate security measures to protect the life, liberty and property of the people of Manipur and for peaceful coexistence”. Kukis of Manipur and Chins of Myanmar share the same Zo ancestry.
The memorandum stated: “Our demand is very loud and clear…
-Bring an end to the ongoing violence in Manipur since May 3, 2023.
– Protect the life, liberty and property of the people of Manipur.
-Protect peaceful co-existence in Manipur.”
Modi is yet to visit Manipur since the unrest erupted on May 3, claiming at least 194 lives and displacing over 67,000 from both the warring Meitei and Kuki-Zo communities.
