The North East Students Organisation (NESO) is planning to conduct candlelight vigils in all the northeast state capitals on June 28 to show solidarity with the people of Manipur. This comes in response to ongoing violence in Manipur that has caused unrest in the region. The NESO has stated that immediate steps must be taken to restore normalcy in the state. The organization has also accused the Center and the Manipur Government of failing to handle the situation.
Earlier, the NESO condemned the Manipur government’s action of evicting the indigenous settlers belonging to the Zo community, which was followed by violent incidents. The NESO chairman said that these settlers had been residing in these areas for ages, and the government of Manipur should consider that they are the indigenous communities of northeast. They have inhabited these lands since their forefathers and are not illegal immigrants from Nepal or Bangladesh.
NESO Chairman Samuel B. Jyrwa called for immediate steps to restore normalcy in strife-torn Manipur and expressed solidarity with the distressed people of Manipur. Candlelight vigils will be held in all state capitals of the northeastern states on June 28 to express support.
The NESO’s decision to conduct the candlelight vigil is an attempt to draw attention to the crisis in Manipur and to urge the authorities to take immediate action to restore peace in the region. The situation in Manipur has been tense for the last few weeks, with the eviction of the Zo community prompting violent protests in the state.
