Joykisan said the violent conflict that has taken many lives and displaced hundreds of people is unfortunate and very saddening.

The conflict has caused panic and unrest to the people.

To restore normalcy, Chief Minister N Biren Singh is in frequent talks with the Centre taking key decisions and steps to contain the conflict, he added.

About his Constituency, Joykisan said Thangmeiband is inhabited peacefully by members of different communities and they are still coexisting peacefully at present.

Thangmeiband is like a mini India, he said adding there are members of Meeitei/Meitei, Kuki, Naga, Hmar, Koireng, Marwari, Jain, Bangali, Bihari and Nepali etc residing at the Constituency peacefully.

There have been many false news and propaganda floating around that are aimed at promoting enmity between the different communities.

However, the people of all communities in the Constituency are communicating within themselves frequently and are keeping peace and unity, Joykisan said.

He then appealed to all the people of different communities of the State to communicate with one another and not believe in such false news and propaganda that are designed to spew enmity between them.

Joykisan also said that saving Manipur, its integrity is the duty of everyone and all the communities should take up steps to restore normalcy and promote peace.

TAKDO Tribal Forum advisor Panmei Mukengpou, who was also present in the press meet, said that the present situation is volatile and believing in false rumours blindly may further deepen the conflict and cause more harm.

Panmei said best of the efforts should be taken up to bring back normalcy and peace in the State.

In Thangmeiband Constituency, all the members of the communities are residing peacefully.

The relationship that was there before the conflict has not changed, Panmei added.

Another member of the community, TAKDO Bazar Community Joint secretary, S Adhikari called on members of all communities in the State to promote peace and bring the conflict to a lasting end.

He also appealed to the members of Thangmeiband community to remain peaceful and promote the bond of love between them.
