Imphal, December 31 2023:
Maintaining that the people of the state need to move forward with the firm belief that peace can only be restored in Manipur by the public and not by the government, Forum for Restoration of Peace convenor Ashang Kasar has appealed to the people to stop believing that the government will restore peace in the state like in old days.
Addressing media persons af Manipur Press Club, here, on Sunday, Ashang Kasar said that the steps taken up by state and central governments in connection with the nearly eight month long crisis in the state is not up to the expectation of the people.
The state government has even failed to acknowledge and put into action the demands and suggestions put forward by the forum to restore peace in the state.
Therefore, it is not the time for the people to have faith and trust in the government.
Instead, Meetei and Kuki CSOs along with the public need to take up measures to restore peace in the state.
Moreover, the NPP and NPF which are coalition partners of the BJP government should also make their stand clear over the issue to the public, he said.
