Bishnupur, June 19 2023:
Keirenphabi Apunba Nupi Lup organised a torch rally yesterday night raising slogans for implementation of NRC in Manipur and withdrawal of SoO pact among others.
The torch rally staged at Keirenphabi witnessed many locals, young and old, with placards that read "Long Live Manipur", "Territorial integrity of Manipur cannot be infringed upon", "No separate administration in Manipur" etc.
An unnamed villager who participated in the rally questioned why the State and Central Government had failed to contain the violence and resolve the conflict even as the mayhem has continued for more than 40 days.
The Prime Minister's stoic silence on the issue has also filled the public with apprehension.
Efforts are poured into ensuring that 'Mann Ki Baat' is broadcasted all over the nation, but when Manipur is in the grips of turmoil, the Prime Minister does not have a single second to spare.
This is shocking, she stated.
If the Government continues to remain indifferent to the hardships faced by the people, then the BJP might be erased from the soil of Manipur, she warned.
Stating that daily wage earners are feeling the brunt of the ongoing conflict, she appealed to the State and Central Government to resolve the conflict at the earliest.
