Assistant Lecturer of GP Women College, Indrakumar, who gave the keynote address said that the dreams of Dr Kishan should be kept alive and we are organising such events which would enable the academicians and social activists to discuss on issues being faced by the people living in this region.
Dr Sudhir who gave the memorial lecture on the topic, 'Vulnerability of women and child in the conflict ridden State of Manipur' maintained that people of the State are reeling under hardships and tortures due to militarisation in the State.
Dr Arambam Lokendra who moderated the function gave a historical note on the conflict situation of the State while continuing his speech on the current notion of India Government wanting to solve militancy in the State by military means as first option and politically as second options.
Peace talk of NSCN with GOI was a compulsion as the militant group split into two decades back, he observed.
Dr Arambam also gave his note on the role played by women in overcoming the atrocities besides the sufferings faced by the women of the State.
Dr Arambam said that late Dr Kishan always wanted to uplift the subjugated people.
Dr Khaidem Mani taking part in the discussion said that the State needs five committed leaders who would stand for truth and save the region.
He said that such discussions should be organised frequently in understanding the State issues for a solution.
