As it becomes increasingly clear that the government, both in Delhi and Imphal, is incapable of handling the crisis in Manipur effectively - and some would even add sincerely - civil society organizations are increasingly stepping into the picture and foremost is the Forum for Restoration of Peace. Created as a direct response to the communal clashes in Manipur that started on the 3rd of May, the Forum’s Convenor, Ashang Kasar, has said the two immediate necessary steps to restore peace and harmony are the replacement of Biren Singh as Chief Minister (but not necessarily President’s Rule) and an initiative directly by the Prime Minister to start a dialogue between the Kuki and Meitei communities. If these steps are not taken, Mr. Kasar said, the situation will markedly deteriorate and the responsibility and blame will then lie with the central government and, specifically, the Prime Minister.
