JORHAT: As the conditions in Manipur show no changes of improvement anytime soon, a young student from the state studying in Jorhat of Assam decided to write to the Prime Minister of the country to intervene in the matter and take necessary steps to restore peace. The student also took part in the protest undertaken by the Assam Jatiyatabadi Yuba Chatra Parishad.
The student mentioned that the sounds of bullets and bombs have replaced any other sound in the state and there is no space for humanity in the current condition. He sought immediate action from the central government in his letter to the prime minister. He also demanded that the N Biren Singh government be dismantled immediately and President rule be imposed to prevent any further bloodshed. He also requested all the local associations and organisations of the state to take immediate steps to prevent further violence.
Meanwhile, the Union Home Minister Amit Shah has convened an all-party meeting on June 24 in New Delhi to discuss the situation in Manipur. In a tweet, the Ministry of Home Affairs said: "Union Home Minister Amit Shah has convened an all-party meeting on June 24 at 3 p.m. in New Delhi to discuss the situation in Manipur." The decision to hold an all-party meeting came immediately after Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma met Shah in New Delhi on Wednesday evening.
Sarma, who is also the convenor of the NDA's northeast chapter, NEDA (North-East Democratic Alliance), visited Imphal on June 10 and held a series of meetings with his Manipur counterpart, N. Biren Singh, and various other organisations. Sarma also met representatives of some militant groups from the Kuki community in Guwahati on June 11. Kuki National Organisation (KNO) Spokesperson Seilen Haokip, while talking to the media about the Guwahati meeting with the Assam Chief Minister, said that the discussion was "very positive and was heading in the right direction".
