Chungreng secured the Interim Bantamweight title

People are dying on a daily basis: Chungreng

There has not been any response from BJP so far

Mixed Martial Arts fighter Chungreng Koren, also referred to as the Indian Rhino, won a bout at the Matrix Fight Night. He secured the Interim Bantamweight title. In an address after a bout, he highlighted the volatile situation in Manipur. “I want to say something. This is my humble request. I am Chungreng. Honourable Prime Minister Modi, there is violence unfolding in Manipur. It has been almost one year. People are dying on a daily basis. Many people are living in relief camps. They are not getting adequate food and water. The education of children is getting affected. We are worried about the future of Manipur. Kindly visit Manipur once. Manipur is in urgent need of peace,” he said after his victory. 

ये Chungreng Koren हैं। चैंपियन खिलाड़ी हैं।

जीत मिली तो PM मोदी से गुहार लगाई कि मणिपुर में हिंसा को करीब 1 साल हो गया है। आप मणिपुर जाइए। लोगों का भविष्य ख़तरे में है। कुछ करिए..

वैसे मुझे तो नहीं लगता कि चुनाव से पहले वो ऐसा कुछ करेंगे।#MatrixFightNight14 pic.twitter.com/gNOvsFmuLp

Opposition party leaders have used this to attack the Central Government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “If Manipur was also part of Modi ka Parivar (Modi’s family), every citizen of Manipur might not have been crying today,” National President of the Indian Youth Congress Srinivas BV stated through a post on X (formerly known as Twitter). There has not been any response from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to the request of Chungreng so far.

ये है Manipur के Chungreng Koren..

काश प्रधानमंत्री के लिए Manipur उनके परिवार का हिस्सा होता तो आज शायद Manipur का हर नागरिक रोने को मजबूर नही होता। pic.twitter.com/OWhYTdShDG
