UKHRUL,22nd Sep'23: THE Nagas of Manipur are on for peaceful atmosphere and environment we are not a party to any community neither we are neutral but Nagas of Manipur are genuinely for Peace to prevail in Manipur said Eno.Dingkhanglung @ Dipu Gangmei Chairman of Hill Areas Committee ( HAC).
As the peace loving citizen of Manipur, to enjoy the peaceful environment so that they can focus on the development and future. As a HAC chairman, I am keeping in touch with our members and used to discussed but since time has come to the situation sort of where its difficult to control. However, we are reaching out to each other and trying to sort out to bring peace in our state. As a HAC chairman, I want to say that the situation has come in Manipur in such a critical juncture where we all should stay together as one and live together and think for our future generation. We don’t have any alternative but to live together as one, Gangmei added.
While interacting with this Journalist the HAC Chairman further amplified that 'Delimitation of Autonomous district council' has been entrusted us as a sub-committee of the HAC and we have done our homework very well with the consultation of the stakeholders as well as with the members of the HAC but due to the law and order situation, we are not able to proceed with the report for finalisation by the government. Once the situation in the state are normalise, we are ready with all necessary paperwork has been done and the report itself has to be approved by the HAC and it has to be tabled by the government. We are ready to do whenever the government ask .
When asked about the present crises in Manipur and the position of the Nagas, Kangmei said that our position is on "Peace" and we are not a party to any community neither we are a.neutral.
The state has faced such communal violence earlier as well and we learnt from the past incidents. History has taught us that all issues has been resolved by sitting across the table and a dialogue has to happen. Until and unless two warring faction or any opposite, if they are not willing to come to the table, it will be very difficult to sort out the differences and difficult to bring peace.
First and foremost, to bring peace in the state is to have a dialogue. As long as we stay aloof from each other, we won’t be able to bring peace. So my humble appealed to all the stakeholders and leaders who love Manipur and our great nation is to come together and puts our head together and try to sort out the differences and try to amicable solution. In this process, the Union Government under the leadership of PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah and state government is giving us full cooperation and support to all the leaders who are working on it, so once again I appealed to all the church leaders, CSOs leaders to come out from our comfort zone and try to bring peace. And other political issues can be sort it out together but until and unless, we sit together but we won’t be able to find any solution in this current imbroglio, the HAC Chairman adds
The government has set up a peace reconciliation committee of the legislators and as a HAC chairman, I was made the chairman and other members are from Nagas and Meitei Pangals community. We are also working on it to restore normalcy and bring peace in the state but whomsoever we have approached, they have apprehensions. There is a hidden agenda groups are working on it to sabotage the peace process. So first thing if we want to bring peace the openness of our leaders, especially from both the communities, should come out. Until and unless they come out openly, it will be very difficult for others to intervene and its high time now that better sense to prevail and violence will never bring peace and progress. In this kind of crisis, there won’t be any victors or vanquished. It will be almost a berievef victory for both the communities. So the best option now is if we have any differences, we should find it out and struggle it out together constitutionally and democratically with parliamentary process of the political procedures, Gangmei quote.
