How much more bloodshed to bring back normalcy in Manipur?: Actor Priyakanta Laishram

Guwahati: Renowned Manipuri filmmaker and actor Priyakanta Laishram has raised concerns over the state and central governments’ inaction and negligence over Manipur’s appalling situation.

The filmmaker has stated that hatred would never advance our cause and that all need to recognize the right solution before everything is lost regarding the prevailing sectarian issue in Manipur.

Priyakanta said, “We are let down by both the state and central governments. How long will our leaders continue to make newsworthy pronouncements that have nothing to do to resolve the dire circumstances? There have been non-stop killings, shootings, internet censorship, and property destruction for more than a month now, which has displaced countless numbers of individuals and many were rendered homeless. Do the individuals lounging in their comfortable chairs even understand what being homeless means? How much more bloodshed is necessary to bring back normalcy again?”
