To assess the situation on the ground, INDIA bloc MPs travel to Manipur.
A delegation of 21 Members of Parliament (MPs) from 16 parties belonging to the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) has embarked on a two-day visit to Manipur to assess the current situation in the state, which has been affected by violence.
Before their departure, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, the Leader of Congress in Lok Sabha, spoke to the media and stated that the delegation plans to split into two groups to visit relief camps in Manipur. He emphasized that they should not be obstructed during their assessment.
Chowdhury stressed that peace and normalcy must be restored in Manipur, and the government should focus on resolving the issue of ethnic clashes rather than portraying it as merely a law and order problem. He urged the government not to divert attention from the seriousness of the situation in the state and avoid playing politics with this matter.
The MP also criticized the Prime Minister for not visiting Manipur earlier and suggested that it took pressure from the Opposition to prompt the government into action.
In response to the Prime Minister’s apparent oversight of the tensions in Manipur, Lok Sabha MP Gaurav Gogoi pointed out that the law and order situation in the state has deteriorated and needs immediate attention.
