Churachandpur: At least three people were shot dead today in two separate incidents of violence in Manipur. While two persons belonging to the Kuki-Zo community were killed during a gunfight along the boundary of the Churachandpur and Bishnupur districts, one from the Meitei community died in Bishnupur.
Meanwhile, a joint delegation of the Communist Party of India (CPI) and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)) visited Manipur on July 6, 2023, for a three-day visit to share the grief of the people of the state over the recent spate of violence.
The delegation, led by CPI national secretary D. Raja and CPI(M) politburo member Brinda Karat, met with the families of the victims of the violence and expressed their solidarity with the people of Manipur. They also met with civil society leaders and political parties to discuss the situation in the state.
The delegation condemned the violence and called for an end to the impunity enjoyed by the perpetrators. They also called for a political solution to the problems facing Manipur.
The delegation’s visit was a gesture of solidarity with the people of Manipur and a call for justice for the victims of the violence.
The violence in Manipur has been ongoing for several years, and has claimed the lives of hundreds of people. The violence is rooted in the long-standing conflict between the Kuki and Naga tribes, as well as the state government’s failure to address the grievances of the people.
The delegation’s visit is a timely reminder of the need for a political solution to the conflict in Manipur. The violence has caused immense suffering, and it is time for the government to take steps to end it.
The delegation’s visit was also a message of solidarity to the people of Manipur. The people of Manipur have shown great resilience in the face of violence, and the delegation’s visit was a way of showing that they are not alone.
The delegation’s visit was a significant event, and it is hoped that it will help to bring about a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Manipur.
