Mohan Bhagwat expresses concern over Manipur issue, says, “Were extremists from across the border also among those who committed violence in Manipur?”

If we look at the current situation of Manipur, this fact becomes obvious. How did this mutual discord and hatred suddenly erupt in Manipur, which had been peaceful for almost a decade?

Mohan Bhagwat expresses concern over Manipur issue, says, “Were extremists from across the border also among those who committed violence in Manipur?”

Indicating the Influence of External Factors in the Unrest in Manipur, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat asked whether “extremists” from across the border were behind the violence in north-eastern state. While addressing a rally in annual Vijayadashami Utsav in Nagpur Bhagwat questioned as to which community are attempting to trigger hatred and violence when Meitei and Kuki community are at peace.

“If we look at the current situation of Manipur, this fact becomes obvious. How did this mutual discord and hatred suddenly erupt in Manipur, which had been peaceful for almost a decade? Were there extremists from across the border also among those who committed violence? Why, and by whom, was an attempt made to give a communal tinge to this mutual conflict between the Manipuri Meitei and Kuki communities, who were apprehensive about the future of their existence?”

Further he said, “Who has a vested interest in trying to drag and besmirch an organization like the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, which has been engaged in serving everyone without any bias for years, into this unfortunate incident without any reason? Which foreign powers may be interested in taking advantage of such unrest and instability in Manipur”

The RSS chief inquired about the reasons behind the outbreak and persistence of violence, despite the presence of a state government committed to upholding the peace that had been maintained for the past nine years.

“Does the geopolitics of Southeast Asia also have a role in these events? Despite there being a strong government in the country, on whose strength and instigation has this violence continued unabated for so many days? Why did this violence erupt and continue even though there was a state government that wanted to maintain the peace that had prevailed over the last nine years?”

Now, when people on both sides of the conflict are seeking peace, which are these forces that are attempting to trigger hatred and violence by causing an incident as soon as any positive step is seen being taken in that direction? Multidimensional efforts will be required to solve this grave problem. To resolve this problem, we would need a strong political will, concurrent actions and efficiency,” he added

Bhagwat said that the civil society will have to play a special role in bridging the gap of mutual distrust that has arisen due to the unfortunate situation between the two communities.

“We are proud of our Swayamsevaks and activists, who made tremendous efforts in a calm and composed manner to help and take care of everyone in this terrible and disturbing situation in Manipur,” he further said.
