Imphal Times Editorial: Reconciliation Needs Rule of Law, Says 'Illusion Without It'

The Imphal Times recently released an editorial titled "Reconciliation without Rule of Law is an illusion". In the piece, the newspaper argues that true reconciliation can only be achieved when it is backed by a robust legal framework that guarantees accountability and justice. The editorial stresses that without such a framework, attempts at mending social or political rifts risk becoming mere gestures rather than lasting solutions. It calls on policymakers to strengthen institutions that uphold the rule of law as a prerequisite for genuine national unity and peace.
