Kakching, January 21 2024:
Denouncing the alleged indifferent attitude of the Government of India to mitigate suffering of the people due to the ethnic crisis raging in the state for nearly nine months, various organisations and meira paibi groups have resolved not to participate in the 75th Republic Day celebration.
In a joint statement, Kakching Apunba Nupi Lup Kakching, Kakching Keithel Apunba Ima Lup Kakching, All Kakching Clubs' Coordinating Committee and Kakching Bazar Business Welfare Association, said that though it is a moment of joy for the people of India with the coming of the 75th Republic Day, yet it is very unfortunate that the crisis in the state remains unabated with the Prime Minister of India opting for silence over the matter.
The crisis has led to the death of hundreds of people and suffering of 30 lakh people of the state.
Despite such a distressful situation, PM Narendra Modi has been ignoring cries and sorrow of the people of Manipur which is very unfortunate, the bodies maintained.
The release further said that all members of the four organisations have decided not to participate in the 75th Republic Day celebration held at the state level and in Kakching district to denounce the indifferent attitude of the union government.
