Manipur violence: Youth body declares indefinite economic blockade from June 23

The All Assam Manipuri Youths' Association (AAMYA) has declared indefinite economic Blockade on NH 54 connecting Assam and Mizoram through Lailapur, Cachar district from June 23 onwards.

In a statement the body stated that AAMYA is very much irked by the response of the MNF justifying their stand of supporting the demand for the separate administrative structure for the chin-kuki-zo people in Manipur invoking Article 3 of Indian Constitution ,which is not relevant in the context of Manipur which has a boundary recognized by the International Community even before Manipur merges with India on the September 1949.

The organization stated in any arrangement of peace and dialogue, MNF and the Government of Mizoram must not go against the integrity of Manipur. AAMYA humbly seeks clarification from Mizoram government whether the statement of CM of Mizoram which is supportive of steps taken by the Government of Manipur and the central Government also means its withdrawal of support for the separate administration for the Chin-Kuki-Zo people in Manipur.


The organization stated that it is looking forward to the active support of the Mizoram chief Minister in protecting the territorial integrity of Manipur and the MNF's public announcement of the withdrawal of support for the separate administration of Chin-Kuki-Zo people in Manipur, AAMYA will wait till the 22nd of June 2023.
