Imphal: The Meetei Tribe Union is throwing its weight behind the Manipur Naga Youth Organisation. The groups will hold a national mega conference in New Delhi on November 28. They chose the theme, "LIVE & LET LIVE."
Takhellambam Parijat Meitei, the MMTU secretary, released a statement on Friday. He says the meeting comes at a difficult time. Manipur faces deep-rooted problems. Chief among these is the surge of illegal immigration.
The MMTU claims illegal arrivals from Myanmar date back to 1950. They argue this influx ruins the state's economy. It also messes with political representation and demographic balance. The group wants to stop these shifts.
Intellectuals and civil society members will gather at the event. Organizers want input from Manipuris living across the globe. They plan to talk through the current state of affairs. Everyone hopes to find a common path forward.
The union says the summit is a chance for open debate. Cooperation is the only way to fix the damage. They believe dialogue remains the best tool to reach peaceful coexistence between all communities.
