Imphal, May 07 2023:
Following the violent clash, Member of Parliament and titular king Leishemba Sanajaoba has appealed to all the people in the hills and plain to maintain peace and calm.
"I express my deep anguish and sorrow at the recent events in the last three/four days.
The thoughtless acts of violence started by a few people caused immense misery to the innocent public.
Not only causing hardship of thousands, it has shaken the very foundation of peaceful coexistence that has been the hallmark of Manipur.
For the last so many centuries, we have been living together, why so suddenly we have to shatter it," said Leishemba Sanajaoba in a statement addressed to the public.
Kindly do not spread rumours.
Your misleading information will cause further disturbances, he said while appealing all to abstain from the violence henceforth.
"Let us live peacefully together once again.
Let us not plot or plan against each other's lives & property.
There is no place for irrational violence in the modern world.
Please stop using weapons of any kind that may harm all.
Let us solve whatever problems with dialogue and discussion as civilised people," he said in his message.
"I once again appeal to both plain and hill people of Manipur to maintain peace and calmness.
Please think what have you gained by this violence.
Let's avoid violence and once again build a peaceful Manipur together," Leishemba said.
