Imphal, July 24 2023:
The North-East Forum for International Solidarity (NEFIS) has strongly condemned the diktat issued by a former outfit in Mizoram to Manipuris residing there.
According to a release, NEFIS informed that as per reports, the outfit asked Manipuris living in Mizoram to "leave for their own safety", after the May 4 incident video surfaced on the social media.
This amounts to seeking retribution for those unconnected to the incidents of violence in Manipur, it added.
The release further informed that the notice might even trigger more provocation against the communities residing in other neighbouring states as retaliation culminating in a vicious cycle of violence and animosity among the communities in the entire region.
While condemning the diktat and demanding protection to the people of Manipur in Mizoram by the state government, NEFIS appealed to all communities to come together against all violence and to take a step back and put forth all the contentious issues for deliberation and larger consultation.
