Prominent representatives from the Meitei community in Manipur have called for dialogue to resolve differences and restore peace in the state. At a discussion organised in New Delhi by the Delhi Manipuri Society, the representatives emphasised the importance of focusing on restoring peace and urged the government to make fresh efforts for dialogue. The retired Lieutenant General Himalay Singh stressed that it is not the time for eye for an eye but for peace-building. Senior journalist Pradip Phanjouban urged breaking the hate cycle while IRS officer Banita Devi Naorem reminded the audience that Manipur is burning and needs urgent attention”. Clashes broke out in Manipur after a ‘Tribal Solidarity March’ in all its 10 districts on May 3 to protest against the Meitei community’s demand for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status. The violence was preceded by tension over the eviction of Kuki villagers from reserve forest land, which had led to a series of smaller agitations.
