Manipur Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh on Sunday, 1 November 2026, called upon all communities in the conflict-affected state to work collectively toward peace, mutual understanding, and harmonious coexistence. The appeal came during his address at the 35th Coral Jubilee Celebration of Brahma Kumaris Manipur, held at the Bhagyachandra Open Air Theatre (BOAT) at Palace Compound, Imphal.

Key Remarks by the Chief Minister

Khemchand Singh highlighted the decades-long contribution of the Brahma Kumaris to Manipur, noting that the organisation began its work in the state in 1992 and has since pursued a mission of selfless service with 'humility, dedication and sincerity,' according to the Chief Minister's address. He urged all those gathered to pray for peace and harmony across communities, stressing the need for collective social effort built on mutual respect.

The Chief Minister also underscored the role of meditation in building a healthier civic environment. 'Scholars have often highlighted the importance of meditation in removing negativity and cultivating positive thoughts,' he said, adding that such practices can contribute to the creation of a society with a positive outlook.

CM's Post on X

Separately, Khemchand Singh took to social media platform X to mark the occasion. In his post, he wrote: 'This Coral Jubilee, 2026, is not merely a celebration of 35 years; it is an expression of gratitude, a recognition of lives transformed and a renewed commitment to serving humanity.'

Home Minister's Address

Manipur Home Minister Konthoujam Govindas Singh also addressed the gathering, describing the Brahma Kumaris' 35 years of service in promoting 'spiritual awareness, moral values, peace and harmony' as a 'significant milestone and a valuable contribution to the people.' He extended congratulations to the organisation and expressed hope for its continued role in fostering 'spiritual well-being, compassion and unity.'

Gathering and Significance

The event was attended by MLAs Thongam Shanti Singh and Mayanglambam Rameshwar Singh, along with representatives of the Brahma Kumaris from multiple states and other dignitaries. The call for unity carries particular weight in Manipur, which has experienced prolonged ethnic tensions; senior state leaders using a spiritual platform to publicly advocate for inter-community coexistence reflects the continuing urgency of the situation on the ground.

The Brahma Kumaris, a global spiritual organisation headquartered in Rajasthan, has operated in Manipur since 1992 — a period that has spanned multiple phases of unrest in the state.
