Chief Minister Khemchand told the Imphal Times that the BJP is actively working to promote reconciliation among communities and ensure free movement across the state.
Chief Minister Khemchand addressed the Imphal Times, emphasizing the Bharatiya Janata Party's commitment to fostering harmony among Manipur's diverse communities. He highlighted ongoing initiatives aimed at reducing inter‑communal tensions and facilitating unrestricted movement for citizens across the state.
The CM noted that these efforts are part of a broader strategy to strengthen social cohesion and economic integration, especially in border and remote areas where mobility has historically been constrained. He cited recent dialogues with community leaders as evidence of growing trust and cooperation.
Khemchand urged all political parties and civil society groups to support the BJP's reconciliation agenda, stressing that sustained peace is essential for Manipur's development and national security.
The statement comes amid heightened attention on communal relations in the Northeast, with the state government seeking to pre‑empt any escalation by promoting inclusive policies.
Observers noted that the CM's remarks align with the central government's broader narrative of national integration and free movement under the Constitution.
