Amit Shah Urges Peace Amidst Tribal Solidarity March
Amit Shah stated in reference to the unrest in Manipur, “There were skirmishes in Manipur after a court ruling. I would urge both sides to uphold peace in the knowledge that everyone will receive justice. In response to the “Tribal Solidarity March” organised by the All Tribal Student Union Manipur (ATSUM) in the Churachandpur district’s Torbung region to denounce the non-tribal Meiteis’ desire for Scheduled Tribe (ST) classification, violence broke out in many Manipur districts earlier this month. The event attracted thousands of protesters, and conflicts between tribal and non-tribal participants occurred there.

However, when the mob invaded the home in the Ningthoukhong neighbourhood and destroyed a piece of a fence, windows, some furniture, and electronic devices, the minister and his family were not there.The ongoing ethnic unrest between the Meitei and Kuki communities in the state, which began three weeks ago and has already cost more than 70 lives, marks the first time a minister’s home has been attacked. Armed forces from the army and paramilitary groups have been sent in to manage the situation in the state.
