UNION HOME MINISTER’S VISIT TO MANIPUR IS A STEP TOO LITTLE AND TOO LATE!
SACKING OF MANIPUR POLICE CHIEF EXPOSES GOVT’S PLOY TO SHOW THE CURRENT CRISIS AS ONLY AN ADMINISTRATIVE FAILURE, THEREBY EVADING THE LARGER ISSUE!
NEFIS DEMANDS FORMATION OF AN INTERIM GOVT COMPRISING ALL COMMUNITIES ONLY WHICH CAN RESTORE CONFIDENCE AMONG THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE!
North-East Forum for International Solidarity (NEFIS) terms the visit of the Union Home Minister, Amit Shah to the crisis-torn state of Manipur as a step too little and too late.
The actions taken by the Union Home Minister such as the sacking of the chief of the Manipur Police expose the ploy of the Union government to show the present crisis as only an administrative issue and not a wider socio-political issue that has been there for many decades.
NEFIS also condemns the role of the present government in creating such a situation where different communities found themselves at loggerheads with each other. The organization demands that to restore confidence among the people an interim government must be formed in the state which comprises people from all communities, as the present government is allegedly biased towards a particular community.
However, in the longer run, a more responsive state structure should be evolved which goes beyond the confines of the present state structure. NEFIS also implores the people of all communities to maintain communal harmony and resolve differences through dialogue.
