Statement by United Zofate Community (Great Britain)
We, the United Zofate Community in Great Britain, are deeply saddened by the acts of violence towards our brothers and sisters in Manipur, India. Over a hundred churches were burned to the ground, over two thousand houses were destroyed, and tens of thousands of people are displaced. We strongly condemn this violence against our communities and our Christian faith, and we demand swift action so the perpetrators of the hideous crimes are brought to justice.
The ongoing mob violence supported by the State Government against the tribal community must stop. In order for this to end, President’s Rule must be imposed as the decision makers in the state are Meitei majority led by the Chief Minister, Mr N Biren Singh. Without President's Rule in Manipur, the tribal communities in Manipur will never be safe from ongoing attacks from the Meitei.
We call for the resignation of Mr N Biren Singh, the Chief Minister of Manipur, whose lack of leadership during such times of crisis and whose biased stance towards the tribal Christian people of Manipur has led to this point.
We also fully support the demand for “Separate Administration” for the region as proposed by the ten MLA signatories from Manipur Hill Areas in their letter to Mr Amit Shah, the Union Home Minister of India. We firmly stand together with our Tribal Christian brothers and sisters of Manipur State.
