Imphal, August 08 2025: The Meitei Alliance (MA) has welcomed the 'Road to Peace' initiative between Thadou Inpi Manipur (TIM) and different civil society organisations (CSOs).

MA, in a statement, also extended its appreciation to all the civil society organisations including COCOMI, AMUCO, FOCS, Arambai Tenggol, various Ima groups, and student bodies - who, despite significant challenges, came together with Thadou Inpi Manipur (TIM) to organise the historic 'Road to Peace' meeting in Imphal.

"This event marks a major milestone in our collective journey toward unity, justice, and lasting peace", the alliance said and added that this initiative reaffirms the rich cultural heritage shared across ethnic lines and the idea of Manipur where communities live together in harmony.

Saying that the event serves as a meaningful model for inclusive dialogue, accountability, and rule of law, the alliance called on all citizens of Manipur to recognise it as a vital step toward restoring the State as a vibrant, secure, and united society for all.

The Meitei Alliance expressed hope that this event will serve as a foundation for many more such much-needed initiatives in the days ahead.

TIM has consistently stood for the preservation and promotion of Manipur as a cohesive, inclusive, and harmonious multi-ethnic society, it said and added that their principled commitment on peaceful coexistence of all the communities of Manipur deserves recognition and appreciation.

MA particularly commended TIM's support to maintain the unity and integrity of Manipur, update National Register of Citizens (NRC), abrogate the SoO agreements with KNO and UPF, which have posed serious threats to Manipur's integrity and its pluralistic society, de-recognise and delete Any Kuki Tribe (AKT) from the Scheduled Tribe list, free Manipur from the grip of drugs and to rehabilitate and resettle the IDPs to their original places.

Urging all stakeholders to support these efforts and the unity they represent, the alliance maintained that such initiatives can empower all communities in Manipur-especially smaller ethnic groups to voice their concerns through justice, mutual respect, and shared unity.
