Various apex Baptist Christian bodies have insisted the Kuki Inpi Manipur (KIM) and the United Naga Council (UNC) to pacify the general public of both Naga and Kuki communities and unconditional, immediate, and safe releases of hostages.
The Manipur Baptist Convention (MBC), Council of Baptist Churches in North East India (CBCNEI), Asia Pacific Baptist Federation (APBF) ,and the Baptist World Alliance (BWA) have jointly made the appeal in a joint press statement, in the spirit of Christian love, compassion and reconciliation.
“At his painful moment, we appeal to every conscience guided by faith in Jesus Christ, to uphold the sanctity, and dignity of human life. The continued captivity of innocent persons brings anguish to families, deepens fear and mistrust within society, and wounds the collective Christian fabry as witnessed in the land. As believers in Christ, we are called to be peacemakers, to show mercy, and to overcome bitterness and violence through grace and forgiveness,” the statement read.
They further appealed to all community-leaders in Manipur to reject violence, hatred, retaliation, and actions that deepen suffering.
