Appeal

Ref. No.: 20240910 Appeal

September 10, 2024

Our students are on the streets, raising democratic voices for peace and tranquillity in Manipur. These young people, the assets of our present and future, who are entrusted with the responsibility of focusing on education to help society progress, have now been compelled to take on extraordinary activism roles due to the prolonged crisis that began on May 3, 2023. While it is heartbreaking to see our students set aside their studies to march in defence of our nation, our hearts are with the parents of these brave young heroes.

We urge the government to recognize the legitimacy and sensitivity of their demands, to prevent any escalation of violence, and to ensure the safety and well-being of these young individuals, both physically and mentally. We also appeal to these brave young heroes to embrace the strength of non-violence (ahimsa) and act within the framework of the law, so that their democratic voices resonate even more powerfully and with greater moral force. May your efforts bring about meaningful change.

Sincerely,

Convenor, Meitei Alliance
