In advance of the visit by the Oppn, Manipur Governor Anusuiya Uikey said, “We’re calling on all parties to help restore peace”

Governor Anusuiya Uikey asked the visiting I.N.D.I.A leaders to help bring back peace and order to the violent Northeast even as the 21-member delegation of opposition leaders was expected to arrive in Manipur soon.
She also urged all parties and interested parties to work together to get the state back on track. The delegation’s leaders had earlier on Saturday declared that they would not bring up any political matters during their visit and would instead concentrate on obtaining a feel of the situation there.

After touring relief facilities in Churachandpur, the state’s epicenter of ethnic violence, Governor Uikey spoke to media and stated, “People are wondering when peace would be restored to the state. I work tirelessly to unite communities and interested parties in the pursuit of bringing peace to the state. Additionally, we are requesting assistance from all political parties in this endeavor.
The governor of Manipur said in response to the two-day visit of the opposition group, “I would appeal to them to contribute towards restoring peace to the state.”
The Governor said, “The government will provide compensation to people, to lost family members to the violence and also suffered loss of property,” after visiting people displaced by the ethnic violence at the Churachandpur relief shelters. I shall use every effort to bring about peace in Manipur and to promote the welfare and wellbeing of all people, regardless of community.
A number of frustrated residents questioned when calm will return to the state during her visit to the aid camps.
The governor said, “The locals want to go home. In an effort to restore peace back to the state, I’m working to bring all sides together.
I.N.D.I.A., the opposition coalition, sent a 21-person delegation earlier today on a trip to Imphal with the intention of evaluating “the real situation on the ground” during their two-day stay in the violent Manipur.
The Congress MP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, who is a member of the 21-person group and spoke to ANI before boarding the Manipur aircraft, said, “The PM hasn’t even tried to visit Manipur yet. The Center didn’t become aware of the predicament until the Opposition gave it a shock.
Chowdhury, who leads the Congress in his home West Bengal, said earlier on Saturday that the visit was intended to better grasp the “real situation” in Manipur.
Ethnic conflict and violence have engulfed the state since the Manipur High Court ordered the state administration to take the Meitei people into consideration for inclusion on the list of Scheduled Tribes.
The visit comes after continuous interruptions and adjournments in both Houses of Parliament as a consequence of calls from the Opposition for a discussion on the Manipur situation and a statement by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
In response to the situation in Manipur, Assam-based Congress member Gaurav Gogoi filed a motion of no confidence against the government of India. He told ANI, “We seek to raise the worries and misery of the people of Manipur before the Parliament. Manipur has been divided along ethnic lines by those who formerly spoke of a one India.
The 21-member opposition delegation, which is made up of representatives from both Houses, includes Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, Gaurav Gogoi, K Suresh, and Phulo Devi Netam of the Congress; Rajiv Ranjan Lalan Singh of the JDU; Sushmita Dev of the Trinamool Congress; Kanimozhi of the DMK; Sandosh Kumar of the CPI; Javed Ali Khan of SP; Mahua Maj
