Meghalaya Chief Minister and National People’s Party (NPP) president Conrad K Sangma today called on the central government to explore all constitutional options to bring peace back to Manipur.
Sangma made this appeal when asked for his opinion if President’s rule should be implemented in the strife-torn state.
The NPP finished with the second highest number of votes in the 2021 Manipur state election.
The situation in Manipur is very complicated and there are many factors that the Centre has to consider.
“Every decision will have its own repercussions and its own impact, hence how you would further handle the situation of that particular decision is something that has to be seen holistically,” he stated.
He added that hence it would be very complicated to say something that this action should be taken because whatever decision the GOI takes they have to realise that every decision has its ramifications and has to be done in a very balanced manner. They have to be ready for the repercussions of any decision, stated Sangma.
“Having said that we as a party want the Indian government to examine all possible aspects of the constitution provisions because at the end of the day as a political party we want peace and harmony to be there.”
“We want things back to normal. The people of Manipur are suffering, common people have started suffering, there is a humanitarian crisis right now and something needs to be done to cool down the situation and bring things back to normal,” he added.
