The MLAs emphasised the urgency of a negotiated settlement to address the deep-rooted crisis.
In a significant political development, the 10 Kuki-Zo MLAs of Manipur have welcomed the Centre’s decision to place the state Assembly under Suspended Animation, while urging the Government of India to swiftly chart out a comprehensive political roadmap for lasting peace and justice.
In a joint statement, the MLAs emphasised the urgency of a negotiated settlement to address the deep-rooted crisis and called for time-bound measures to alleviate the suffering of conflict-affected and internally displaced people.
With ethnic tensions continuing to grip the state, the legislators stressed the need for decisive intervention from New Delhi to restore normalcy and protect the rights of their community. They reiterated their stance that a long-term solution must be inclusive, just, and sustainable to restore stability in Manipur.
“We, the undersigned ten MLAs of Manipur, while acknowledging the Centre’s decision to place the Assembly under Suspended Animation express hope that the Government of India would lay out a comprehensive political roadmap for peace and justice under a negotiated settlement. We also look forward to time-bound measures to end the sufferings that the conflict-affected and internally displaced people continue to undergo,” the joint statement read.
After N Biren Singh resigned as Chief Minister of Manipur on February 9, the Centre on February 13 imposed President’s Rule in the state and placed the state assembly under suspended animation.
