Rajya Sabha MP Leishemba Sanajaoba on Monday raised the demand for a rehabilitation package and a long term solution for peaceful co-existence in Manipur, during his ‘Special Mention’ on the floor of the Parliament.
Addressing his ‘special mention’, Leishemba stated in the Parliament that “it is now evident that the simmering tension in the state is gradually subsiding. Normalcy is inching slowly and there is hope for a peaceful solution in near future.”
He expressed his gratitude to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Chief Minister N Biren Singh and his government for their steadfast, far-sightedness, expertise and untiring efforts in bringing a near peaceful solution in the state.
Leishemba urged the union government to put in a little more effort, stating that with timely push, the peace process and resettlements could be quickened. He added that the people of Manipur have suffered enough and they need a respite now.
He further demanded through the Parliamentary floor that “the Union government should provide a suitable rehabilitation package, a long term solution for peaceful co-existence and other necessary arrangements, which deemed fit, to restore the peaceful and glorious past of Manipur.”
