More than a year after ethnic violence hit the state, PM Modi to meet Manipur chief minister in Delhi

More than a year after ethnic violence hit the state, PM Modi to meet Manipur chief minister in Delhi

 


GUWAHATI: Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh, who left for Delhi on Thursday, will have his first meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in over 14 months since ethnic violence between the Meitei and Kuki-Zo communities erupted on May 3 last year.

Singh told media in Imphal on Thursday that he was visiting Delhi to attend a meeting of the NITI Aayog and a conclave of chief ministers.

“I am visiting Delhi specifically to attend a meeting of the NITI Aayog. It will be chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji. After that, I will attend the Chief Ministers' conclave in the presence of the Prime Minister,” Singh said.

“We will discuss various issues. I will have the privilege to discuss the current situation (in Manipur). I will make a request to find an immediate solution to the current crisis,” he added, expressing confidence that something positive will come out of it.

In response to a WhatsApp query from this newspaper asking if he would have a one-on-one meeting with the prime minister, Singh wrote: “Of course.”

Last month, over 20 NDA MLAs from Manipur travelled to Delhi and camped there for a few days to seek an audience with the Prime Minister and seek his intervention to restore peace in the state. It is not clear whether they will be able to meet him.

The prime minister, meanwhile, has been criticised by opposition parties for not visiting Manipur even once during the conflict that has left at least 219 people dead and more than 60,000 displaced. A large majority of the displaced people are still languishing in relief camps.

Since the violence, Manipur has remained ethnically divided, with members of the two warring communities not even allowed to visit areas where the rival community is dominant. The Kukis are confined to the hills while the Meiteis are confined to the Imphal Valley. They have no contact with each other.

The state government has been criticised for allegedly discriminating against the Kuki community and siding with the Meiteis during the violence.

Meanwhile, Singh on Thursday personally invited 10 legislators from Kuki-Zo, including two ministers, to attend a session of the Manipur Assembly to be held from July 31 to August 6.

They should come and join us. We will cooperate, Singh said.

However, given the animosity and sense of insecurity, it is highly unlikely that Kuki-Zo lawmakers will attend the assembly session. They had not participated in the previous two sessions.

Assembly Speaker T Satyabrata Singh also said that the Assembly has written to all MLAs, including 10 from the Kuki-Zo community, to attend the Assembly session.

“We wrote to them (Kuki-Zo lawmakers) five or six days ago. They have not yet confirmed their participation. We hope they will attend the session,” the president said.
