Congress accuses PM Modi of maintaining silence on Manipur situation, calling it a "horrific injustice" on the people.
The Congress on February 4 said Prime Minister Narendra Modi continues to maintain a "total silence" on the situation in Manipur, and alleged that he had committed a "horrific injustice" on the people there.
The Opposition party's attack came a day after Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh met Home Minister Amit Shah.
In a post on X, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh tagged a media report on the CM’s meeting with Mr. Shah and said, “9 months to the day and yet no meeting with the PM who continues to maintain total silence on Manipur.” “The PM goes to Guwahati for a road show but cannot and will not go to Imphal,” he said.
“A horrific ANYAY by the PM on the people of Manipur!” Mr. Ramesh added.
After meeting Mr. Shah, Mr. Singh said the Centre is set to take “some important decisions” in the interests of the people of the state.
During the meeting “matters of paramount importance” concerning Manipur were discussed.
Ethnic violence broke out in Manipur on May 3, 2023 after a tribal solidarity march was organised in the hill districts to protest against the majority Meitei community's demand for Scheduled Tribe status.
Political economist Parakala Prabhakar has described the exit poll results as “fudged figures”, saying that those would benefit the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) only. “False predictions were given with the sole objective of helping the NDA in rigging during the counting,” alleged Mr. Prabhakar, after releasing a book titled ‘Avineeti Chakravarthi Narendra Modi’ penned by former Minister Vadde Shobanadreeswara Rao, here, on June 2 (Sunday).
