Imphal, December 30 2023:
All Manipur Dalit Development Association felicitated national and international awardees at Manipur Press Club here on Saturday.
The function was attended by Khundrakpam MLA Thokchom Lokeswar as chief guest, and Association president Dr TM Rajen Ayangba as president.
In his speech, MLA Lokeswar said that actions should match the words spoken if we sincerely want the conflict to end.
While the government has given varied reasons on cause of the conflict, the question is whether the government is truly standing for the indigenous people or not, he opined.
Noting that the Meetei people in the valley are trapped like fishes inside a pot by the government, the MLA continued that if the entrapment persists, it would become more difficult for the people to live and even harder for the government to continue.
In all, 36 national and international awardees were honoured with gifts on the occasion.
