Imphal, May 13 2023:
Condemning failure of the state government in ensuring peace and nor-malcy in the state, North-East Forum for International Solidarity (NEFIS) demanded that the chief minister should immediately resign on moral grounds for letting the situation go out of hand and innocent citizens falling victims to the violence.
In a release, NEFIS urged all communi-ties to maintain communal harmony and strive to reconcile their differences through dialogue.
The present situation of conflict between communities is due to the state government creating animosity amongst different communities for drawing polit-ical mileage.
The complete failure of the state's institutions and the indifference of the state police in stopping violence led to the death of many people, destruction of homes, and displacement of people.
In communal conflicts, it is the poor and labour masses who suffer, and political profits are reaped by the ruling elites having vested interests, it pointed out.
NEFIS also condemned the role of the state government in creating such a sit-uation where different communities find themselves at loggerheads.
At present, the situation is especially dire for the poor and labourers of all communities, it added.
