"Dedicated his life towards societal progress": PM Modi expresses grief over passing of BJP MLA Vungjagin Valte

PM Narendra Modi expressed grief over the passing of BJP MLA Vungjagin Valte, remembering him as dedicated to societal progress.

"He dedicated his life towards societal progress and well-being. - PM Narendra Modi"

New Delhi, February 20

Following the demise of Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Vungjagin Valte from Manipur, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday expressed his grief, remembering him as an individual who dedicated his life towards the progress of society.

The PM posted on his X account, describing Valte as someone who found joy in serving people.

"Pu Vungzagin Valte loved serving people and he dedicated his life towards societal progress and well-being. He distinguished himself as an active MLA. His passing is very saddening. My thoughts are with his family, friends and supporters in this sad hour," he wrote on X.

The BJP MLA was airlifted to Delhi on February 9 in an air ambulance for a medical check-up following injuries sustained in an alleged violent attack amid ongoing communal tensions in the state.

It was recently informed by his son, David Mang Valt, that he is suffering from a lung disease.

Speaking to ANI, he said, "The day before yesterday, we came to know that he has a lung problem. Now his condition is a little bit stable. He is critical after he suffered from that mob violence. His health is not in good condition for now."

He further explained the circumstances leading to the attack, stating, "Due to the communal crisis between the Kuki, the Maiti, and the Zomi communities, he went to visit the former CM of Manipur. On his way back home, he was attacked by the Arambai Tenggol."

Manipur BJP also posted about the MLA's passing from their official X account and agreed with the PM's sentiment, stating that his words "truly reflect the immense contribution" of Valte.

"Hon'ble PM's heartfelt words truly reflect the immense contribution of Shri Vungzagin Valte towards society and public life. His loss is deeply saddening. Our thoughts and prayers are with the bereaved family. Om Shanti," the post read.

PM Modi's words are touching, but the real tribute would be ensuring peace and justice in Manipur. An MLA being attacked on his way home is a failure of law and order. Thoughts with the Valte family during this incredibly difficult time.

This is so tragic. He was just trying to do his duty and visit a former CM to help with the situation. The communal tensions have claimed another life. When will our brothers in the Northeast see lasting peace? Jai Hind.

May his soul rest in peace. It's a great loss for Manipur and the BJP. We need more leaders like him who find joy in serving people. The government must take strong action against the groups involved in this violence.

Respectful criticism: While the PM's condolences are appropriate, many citizens feel the central and state response to the Manipur crisis has been inadequate. Preventing such attacks on elected representatives should be the highest priority.

Heartfelt condolences. His son's interview was so painful to read. To lose a father in such circumstances... no family should go through this. I hope his service is remembered and the perpetrators are brought to justice.
