"Together, we stood as a united front, expressing our unwavering solidarity against the ongoing violence in Manipur, India, our beloved birthplace and motherland," it added. 

The inclement weather, with rain showers throughout the day, did not dampen the spirits of those who stood united for peace. Clad in ponchos and holding umbrellas, the level of commitment and dedication displayed by the attendees was truly remarkable, it stated. 

Rajshree Keisham, the event's spokesperson said, "We would like to take the opportunity to let the world know what is happening in Manipur, India. We would like to request everyone, in this country, to the world, to all the media houses to extend support to bring peace and focus on rebuilding. When we ask for peace, it is peace for everyone in the state, Manipur. We want to stop the gunfight and killings. Let us talk our differences on the table, and not by violence". 

Placards with slogans like “Ho Ima Manipur Nung Gun bi leite Ima”, “Proud Meitei, Proud Indian”, “Peace is possible”, “Strongly condemn the violence” were used. Flyers with brief information about the current crisis and appeal for action and peace are outlined during the peace demonstration. 

AMA also extended its deepest appreciation to all the participants for their tremendous efforts and dedication. The demonstration was made even more powerful and impactful by the diverse and passionate individuals who came together as one voice for peace and justice in Manipur, it stated.
