GUWAHATI: The continuous violence that has been going on in Manipur for the last 45 days is extremely worrisome. The violence and uncertainty that started in Manipur after the protest rally organized in Churachandpur on May 3 at the time of the Lai Haraoba festival are to be condemned. It is very unfortunate that the spate of unrest and violence that erupted afterwards among those who have been living a peaceful life with mutual harmony and cooperation for centuries has not yet stopped. The Rashtreeya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) stands with the displaced persons and other victims of the Manipur crisis, numbering more than 50,000, during this period of terrible grief. The RSS is of the considered opinion that there is no place for violence and hatred in a democratic setup and also believes that the solution to any problem is possible only through mutual dialogue and the expression of brotherhood in a peaceful atmosphere.
The RSS appeals to everyone to overcome the deficit of trust among each other, which is the cause of the present crisis. It requires comprehensive efforts from both communities. It can be resolved by addressing the sense of insecurity and helplessness among the Meiteis and the genuine concerns of the Kuki community simultaneously.
The Sangh appeals to the government, including local administration, police, military, and central agencies, to take every possible step to immediately stop this painful violence, ensure the seamless supply of relief materials among the displaced, and take necessary actions to maintain peace and harmony, stated a press release.
