The RSS has called for peace in Manipur, which has been reeling under turmoil for over 45 days.

“The Rashtreeya Swayamsevak Sangh stands with the displaced persons and other victims of the Manipur crisis numbering more than 50,000 during this period of terrible grief,” RSS added.

“Rashtreeya Swayamsevak Sangh is of the considered opinion that there is no place for violence and hatred in a democratic setup, and also believes that the solution of any problem is possible only through mutual dialogue and expression of brotherhood in a peaceful atmosphere,” the RSS further wrote.

Furthermore, the RSS appealed to the civil society groups, the political groups in Manipur, and common people to take every possible initiative to put an end to the present chaotic and violent situation and also ensure the safety of human life and permanent peace in Manipur.
