Interfaith Forum for Peace and Harmony organised a one-day Interfaith Fasting Prayer at the Lainingthou Sanamahi Temple in Imphal on July 23. The fasting and prayer held against violence against women and children in Manipur. It was attended by about 70 including 20 women representing 19 religious communities belonging to various faiths. The religious collective urged the government to use all the forces under its command to immediately stop the ethnic war in Manipur. The Forum had also submitted a memorandum to the Governor and President of India to stop the ethnic war in the state. India is in a state of shock after the horrific video from violence-hit Manipur went viral on the internet. The gut-wrenching video triggered massive outrage and also raised several questions for the state and central government. However, four accused have been arrested and legal proceedings are underway.
