With Manipur gripped by ethnic violence since May, hundreds of Meiteis from around the world have written an open letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking his intervention to restore normalcy in the northeastern state.
In their letter titled ‘Urgent Plea for Immediate Intervention to Restore Normalcy and Harmony in Manipur’, Meitei NRIs and Meiteis of Indian origin urged Modi to visit Manipur and meet the people affected by this “senseless violence and ongoing turmoil”.
As India prepares to host the G20 summit, the “persistence of violence” in Manipur threatens to undermine these achievements, they said.
