He noted that Singh is not merely a political leader but a “warrior shaped by discipline, resilience, and honour,” adding that the values cultivated through taekwondo—focus, courage, humility, and self-control—are essential qualities of effective leadership.
He also said that Singh’s rise sends a strong message to young sportspersons across the Northeast and India that character built through sports can shape destinies and leadership.
“You embody the truth that a true sportsman does not just strive for victory; he uplifts communities, inspires youth, and leads with integrity,” Khezhie added.
The NETU president further expressed confidence that under Khemchand Singh’s leadership, sports would receive greater emphasis as a tool for youth empowerment, social unity, and development in the state.
“We are proud that one of our own now leads Manipur. The sporting fraternity stands firmly with you, confident that under your leadership, sports will not only grow but become a pillar of youth empowerment and unity,” he said.
