Kodikunnil Suresh asks Prime Minister Modi to intervene to resolve Manipur conflict

Kodikunnil Suresh, Member of Parliament, has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene and take concrete steps to restore peace in violence-hit Manipur.

In a statement issued here on Sunday, the Mavelikara MP said the ongoing violence and unrest in Manipur has become a national tragedy, reflecting the failure of governance at both the state and Union levels. “Despite months of conflict, the BJP-led government has not taken any meaningful step to restore peace or address the plight of the affected communities. The people of Manipur continue to suffer due to the inaction and apathy of those in power,” Mr. Suresh said.

He said the ongoing ethnic clashes had claimed countless lives and displaced thousands of people, leaving communities shattered and hopeless. “The government’s inability to initiate peace talks or ensure justice for the victims has only worsened the situation,” Mr Suresh said.

He stressed the need for inclusive dialogue involving all stakeholders, strict action against those perpetuating the violence, and immediate relief and rehabilitation for displaced families. “The crisis in Manipur is not just a regional issue but a national concern. Justice must be served quickly to restore trust among the affected communities,” Mr. Suresh added.
