Imphal, May 04 2025: The Rashtrahit Sarvopari Sangathan (RSS) and around 50 Hindu organisations have raised "Chalo Manipur" slogan for "lakhs across the country to go to Kuki areas and rehabilitate displaced Meiteis in their original homes" .
The "Chalo Manipur" slogan was raised during a "tribute meeting", organised to mark 2 years of the Manipur conflict at Connaught Place, New Delhi yesterday (May 3) .
Sohan Giri, founder National president of Rashtrahit Sarvopari Sangathan, chief advisor Ksh Bhakta Kumar and all Hindu leaders present paid tributes to Meitei people killed in the Manipur conflict since May 3, 2023 .
In the tribute meeting, the organisations resolved to launch the "Chalo Manipur" campaign, aimed at rehabilitating the displaced citizens.
"Lakhs of people from all over India will soon go to Kuki areas in Manipur and will safely rehabilitate 60,000 displaced Meitei brothers in their places," said the Hindu leaders at the meeting.
May 3, 2023 was a black day for India.
On this day, Kuki terrorists carried out a well planned violent protest in the name of a peaceful demonstration, said RSS National president Sohan Giri.
For peace to return to Manipur, the RSS leader placed four demands, unanimously adopted by the organisations, before the Government.
Sohan Giri said that the Government must update the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Manipur, allow safe return of displaced citizens to their original places, take strong and decisive action against terror activities, and secure the National Highways of Manipur which are vital lifelines for her people.
On the need for NRC, Giri asserted that the unchecked and growing issue of illegal immigration has deeply disturbed the demographic structure and it poses longterm threats to the identity and rights of indigenous communities.
The Government must implement the NRC in Manipur at the earliest.
This is vital to safeguard the rights of the native people and ensure a just and lawful population record, Giri added.
On rehabilitation of the displaced, Giri said the ongoing conflict has tragically displaced over 60,000 people from their ancestral homes with many currently surviving in relief camps under difficult conditions.
"We appeal for urgent and effective measures to safely return these individuals to their original places of residence, with proper security, compensation, and rehabilitation support so they may rebuild their lives with dignity," Giri said.
The RSS then called for strong and decisive action against terrorist activities.
The presence and actions of armed extremist groups continue to pose a serious threat to peace and civilian life, urging the Government to authorize strong and targeted operations - if necessary, surgical strikes - against those who are destabilizing Manipur through violence and terror.
"The safety and sovereignty of our State must be preserved at all costs," Giri stressed.
Meanwhile, the challenges being faced by the people of Manipur due to frequent blockades, restrictions, and disruptions along the National Highways are also very challenging issues, Giri said.
The National Highways of Manipur are the vital lifelines for the people of Manipur, connecting the valley and hill districts with the rest of the country.
They are essential for the transportation of food supplies, medicines, fuel, and other basic necessities.
Unfortunately, the repeated disruptions along these routes have caused immense hardship to the general public-particularly to the poor, students, patients, and daily wage earners - who suffer the most during such times, Giri said, urging the Government to take appropriate steps to ensure the free and safe movement of goods and people along the National Highways.
National Convenor of Bharat Raksha Manch and Senior Sangh Pracharak Suryakant Kelkar, Hindu United Front Founder Jai Bhagwan Goyal, SC/ST Ayog National Secretary of Manipur PK Chaudhry, industrialist Chandra Shekhar Rai, Rajnikanth, co-organiza-tion minister, Swami Yogi Dhananjay Maharaj, founder of Aadya Foundation Vandana Vats and many other leaders and members of Ramayana Research Council, Vishwa Hindu Mahasangh Bharat, Aadya Foundation, Hindu Mahasabha, Dara Sena, Black Gym, D Fitness and Sant Samaj attended the "tribute meeting".
