Why did the Manipur Chief Minister ask his Mizoram counterpart to protect Meiteis

The Manipur Chief Minister has requested the Mizoram Chief Minister to protect Meiteis and BJP MLAs in New Delhi are also intending to meet the Prime Minister regarding the same.
  • There has been an ongoing conflict between the Meiteis, an ethnic group in Manipur, and the Mizos, an ethnic group in Mizoram, over a disputed boundary area.
  • Recently, the tension between the two communities escalated and led to violence, resulting in the death of at least five persons and the displacement of thousands of people.
  • The Manipur Chief Minister is concerned about the safety of Meiteis, who are living in Mizoram, as well as BJP MLAs who represent constituencies in the disputed area.
  • The Manipur Chief Minister has requested the Mizoram Chief Minister to take appropriate measures to protect the Meiteis, who are facing threats and attacks from Mizos, and to restore peace in the region.
  • The BJP MLAs from Manipur are also planning to meet the Prime Minister to seek his intervention in the matter and to resolve the boundary dispute between the two states.
In conclusion, the conflict between the Meiteis and Mizos is a complex issue that needs to be resolved through dialogue and peaceful means. It is important for the government to take prompt action to protect the lives and properties of the affected people and to restore normalcy in the region.
