Imphal, July 18: Tokyo Olympics silver medallist Mirabai Chanu on Monday night shared an emotional and heartfelt appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah to restore peace in her conflict-ridden home state.

Sharing the video appeal on her social media, Chanu made a heartfelt appeal to the top leaders to bring the conflict to an end, which has been going on since May 3.

Chanu who is from Manipur is currently in the USA preparing for the upcoming World Weightlifting Championships and the Asian Games.

Over 150 people lost their lives in the ethnic clashes between Meitei and Kuki communities since May 3.

Chanu in the video appeal said, “Manipur ki sabhi praja ko bacha lijiye, aur pehle jaise shanti laiye (Please save all the people of Manipur and restore peace in the state)”.

“It will soon be three months since violence in Manipur started. The authorities are yet to restore peace. Because of the violence, a lot of athletes are unable to train and students are not able to focus on studies. Lots of people have lost their lives and many houses have been burnt down. Even though I am in USA training for the upcoming World Weightlifting Championships and Hangzhou Asian Games, I have a home in Manipur. Even if I am not in the state, I think about home and wonder when normalcy will return. I appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah to find a solution to the unrest as soon as possible,” she further added.

Sharing her concern about the impact of the conflict in Manipur, she said that the athletes are unable to train and students are not being able to focus on their studies due to the ongoing violence in the state.
