Imphal, June 01 2023:
Terming the visit of Union Home minister Amit Shah to the crisis-torn Manipur as a step too little and too late, the North-East Forum for International Solidar-ity (NEFIS) has stated that removal of the Manipur director gen-eral of police exposes the ploy of the union government to portray the present crisis as an administrative issue only and not a wider socio-political issue that has been there for many decades.
In a release, NEFIS condemned the role of the present goveminent in creating such a situation where different communi-ties found themselves at loggerheads and demanded that an interim government be formed in the state which comprises people from all com-munities.
However, in the longer run, a more responsive state structure should be evolved which goes beyond the confines of the present state structure.
NEFIS also implores the people of all com-munities to maintain communal harmony and resolve differenc-es through dialogue, it added.
