Subject: Urgent and open appeal to de-notify and withdraw Chibu Stone Inscription and stop constructing Chandrakirti Memorial Park at Chivu at the Indo-Myanmar border

Dear Hon’ble Biren Singhji:
Warmest greetings! Hope this letter find you in the best of your health.
We, the undersigned under the rubric of Tribal Intellectual Forum, Manipur, are deeply concerned and disturbed over the unusual enthusiasm shown by you and your government in the midst of Covid19 outbreak to edify and use the site of Chibu Stone Inscription as a proxy to construct a Memorial Park after the name of the controversial king, Chandrakirti Singh at Chivu, near Behiang in the Indo-Myanmar border. While we appreciate and welcome your effort to promote tourism and development through Behiang in the Indo-Myanmar border as a part of India’s Act East Policy, your calculated move to use Chandrakirti Memorial Park as a mascot to promote tourism and development not only contradicts your professed avowal on Chingmi-tammi amatani (hill-valley people are one) but may also endanger inter-communal peace, harmony, and the promotion of tourism and development at large in Manipur. In our considered opinion, which is duly supported by dense colonial historical records, your pet project to promote Chandrakirti Memorial Park around the pivotal site of Chibu Stone Inscription, which is protected under the Manipur Ancient and Historical Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1976, stems from a willful distortion and manipulation of history. Unless you are really keen and determined to perpetuate this manipulated and distorted history as a proxy to snatch away tribal land, open up a deep historical wound and willfully insult the dignity, self-respect and pride of the tribal people, we request you to immediately abandon this project, de-notify and withdraw the Chibu Stone Inscription under the 1976 Act mentioned above. Please allow us to elaborate.
