The Significance of Shri Amit Shah’s Resolution: A Call for Peaceful Transition in Manipur

In an extraordinary move, Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Shri Amit Shah has proposed imposing President’s Rule on Manipur. This resolution was introduced after the 2014-2015 period, a time marked by long periods of instability and violence.

The 2014-2015 Conflict: A Case Study

From 1993 to 2015, Manipur experienced significant conflicts, many initiated by the Indian National Congress. The Naga-Kuki conflict of 1993-1997 led to 750 deaths, while sporadic incidents persisted for ten years. The Meitei-Pangal conflict in 1997-98 resulted in over 100 deaths. However, the opposition never visited during these periods, exacerbating Manipur’s wounds.

The Indian National Congress’ focus on ethnic and regional divisions led to ongoing tensions that some view as promoting division rather than peaceful transition.

Shri Amit Shah’s Resolution: The Desired Outcome

Shri Shah’s administration aims to achieve peaceful coexistence by imposing President’s Rule in Manipur. The move is not about saving anyone but ensuring a transition towards peaceful development, avoiding further violence and division.

Current Focus on Peaceful Transition

In 2025, Shri Shah plans to impose President’s Rule, signaling his party’s commitment to promoting stability. He emphasizes the desire for peaceful coexistence, urging the public to avoid focusing solely on ethnic issues or political jabs.

Avoiding Further Issues: The Need for Peace

The resolution is a call for avoiding further conflict and division. It underscores the importance of dialogue and peaceful solutions in addressing Manipur’s ongoing challenges.

Conclusion

Shri Amit Shah’s move reflects a broader commitment to peaceful development inManipur, emphasizing that the transition should focus on coexistence rather than conflict. While the past administration has been marked by long periods of instability, the resolution aims to bring about a peaceful future, avoiding further issues.
