"The Indian national interest and the interests of Manipur's indigenous people are one and the same," historian and geopolitical analyst Abhijit Chavda said at the protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar
The central and the state governments must restore peace in violence-hit Manipur quickly and rebuild the destroyed homes of internally displaced people, according to students from the northeast who participated at a peaceful protest in Delhi's Jantar Mantar on Tuesday.
They raised their voice against attempts to divide Manipur. Some of the placards read "no separate administration," "peaceful coexistence for everyone," "save territorial integrity of Manipur", etc which are the common themes in the Manipur crisis.
The MLAs, civil society organisations, and ceasefire-linked insurgent groups of the Kukis tribes dominant in some hill areas of Manipur have been speaking in the same language in demanding what they call a "separate administration" carved out of Manipur.
