We, the Members of the European Manipuri Association across the UK and Europe, are deeply saddened by the news of the ruthless killing of Marim Lucy. We wholeheartedly condemn such actions. Our state is currently facing a challenging period in its history, with people enduring immense physical and emotional suffering. We earnestly request, with folded hands, that such killings be avoided.
It is crucial to emphasize that our concern is not limited to Lucy being a Naga; we mourn the loss of any innocent life, regardless of whether they are Naga, Meitei, or Kuki.
Humanity is the universal religion that transcends borders, and people worldwide adhere to this principle. When news of such merciless killings spread, it evokes anguish among people everywhere, especially in today's interconnected world where information travels instantly.
We should reflect on the fact that the strategies of our forefathers, which led to victories on the battlefield, must evolve to encompass peacebuilding beyond conflicts. Building alliances and friendships within Manipur, India, and globally is paramount. The most potent weapon in forging friendships is to uphold humanity, kindness, and respect for human life.
We earnestly appeal to all parties involved to value and preserve precious lives, showcasing to the world the inherent kindness that defines Manipuris' hearts. Let us stand together in promoting peace and understanding in these challenging times.
