President’s Rule would have prevented situation in Manipur from getting worse: NPF leader Kuzholuzo Nienu
First Published: 27th June, 2023 19:50 IST
The NPF leader said that every problem starts with questions or rather problems occur because of "unanswered" questions
Leader of the Naga People’s Front (NPF) legislature party Kuzholuzo Nienu today said that if President’s Rule had been imposed in Manipur within a few days or a week of the start of communal violence in the state, the situation would not have worsen to the horrific scenes of present.
The NPF leader said that every problem starts with questions or rather problems occur because of “unanswered” questions.
He stated that only exceptional humanitarian conviction loaded with extraordinary wisdom or disturbance of the present Manipur state in the form of Autonomous Regional Council/Union Territory or Separate Administration under the Sixth Schedule of the Indian Constitution may be the answer to the violence-hit Manipur.
He also said that the ineffective action and indifferent silence on the part of the Central government for nearly two months was not only shocking but also emboldened the adversaries of the state to engage in open ethnic cleansing and violence against the Christian minorities.
“The present state of affairs in Manipur has shown the miserable failure of the state to protect lives and properties. I can not help but to raise speculations if all this was allowed to happen as part of the game plan to win the majoritarian hearts which will turn in votes by November 2023?,” he said.
Kuzholuzo Nienu said that the leadership at the center must show urgency in bringing peace in the state and fulfill its promises made during election campaign this year.
Adding that the people of Manipur deserve to live in peace and harmony with equality and respect, he said, “Political and social unrest must come to a logical end. Therefore, the way forward is to find an amicable solution from within, from among us, instead of waiting for outside powers to manipulate us at their whims and fancies.”
Manipur has been on the boil for almost two months now since violent clashes broke out between two communities in the state on May 3.
