PRESS RELEASE

The Meitei Alliance is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Hon’ble MLA Pu Vungzagin Valte from the Thanlon constituency, who sustained grievous injuries during the tragic violence that erupted in Manipur in May 2023.

At this solemn hour, we extend our heartfelt sympathies to his bereaved family, his supporters, and the people of Thanlon constituency. We pray for strength, comfort, and peace for all those mourning this irreplaceable loss. The pain felt by one community is shared by all who yearn for peace in Manipur.

Shri Valte’s tragic demise underlines the urgent need for sustained efforts toward healing, understanding, and reconciliation among all communities whose futures are interwoven in the shared destiny of Manipur. Violence and retaliation have brought suffering to far too many families. It is only through dialogue, mutual respect, and collective will that we can build a future free from violence and fear.

The Meitei Alliance appeals to individuals, civil society organisations, and community leaders to honour Pu Valte’s vision for all to see each other as Manipuris first, to reject hatred, to embrace dialogue, and to recommit to peace-building efforts so that such tragedies never recur.

May his soul rest in peace, and may we find the strength and wisdom to walk together toward reconciliation and lasting peace.
