Taking a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the situation in Manipur, the Congress on Sunday said one more ‘Mann Ki Baat’ remains ‘Maun’ (silent) on Manipur. Over 100 people have lost their lives in Manipur in what the government describes as ethnic violence between Meitei and Kuki communities over a month ago. Frequent clashes and arson incidents have been reported since.
The Opposition has consistently questioned Modi over his silence on the unrest and asked him to speak to the warring groups for peace. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh on Sunday said on Twitter, “So, one more Mann ki Baat but Maun on Manipur. The PM patted himself on the back for India’s great capabilities in disaster management. What about the entirely man-made (actually self-inflicted) humanitarian disaster that is confronting Manipur. Still no appeal for peace from him.”
