“Forgive and forget”: Manipur’s CM Appeals For Peace On Independence Day

Manipur, chief minister N Biren Singh used the occasion of Independence Day to make a fervent appeal for peace and a return to the path of development. He also blamed “forces from outside” for the ethnic violence in the state and said the war against drugs would continue.

“By forgiving and forgetting, we can live harmoniously and continue our journey on the path of development, which we have lost for the past three months,” Mr Singh said while hoisting the tricolour during the 77th Indian Independence Day celebrations in Imphal today.
