Imphal, June 17 2023:
The Forum for Restoration of Peace, Manipur has asserted that at such a crucial juncture when the people of Manipur are thrown in between the devil and the deep sea, it is the people who should save themselves.
"It is time now for the people to raise our voice in Delhi, instead of attacking ourselves by burning down houses of our elected MLAs and MPs.
We should refrain from inflicting ourselves in the process of bringing peace & normalcy in Manipur", said a release issued by Ashang Kasar, convenor Forum for Restoration of Peace, Manipur.
The Forum mentioned that the State Level Peace Committee formed under the Home Ministry is a farce which all the people of Manipur have rejected outrightly.
"This shows the Union Government is not serious about bringing peace & normalcy in Manipur.
Rather, the present situation is more or less a stage-managed one by the Union Government in order to sustain the BJP Government in Manipur at any cost", it alleged.
Alleging that the State and Central Government are not willing to contain the situation, the Forum added, "All the members of the so-called Peace Committee formed under the Home Ministry have expressed that they were not consulted to be members" .
The Forum for Restoration of Peace, Manipur further appealed to all concerned to make a concerted effort to restore peace & normalcy in the State.
