Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s silence on the Manipur violence and said the first thing he should do is sack Chief Minister N Biren Singh if he is really concerned about the state. No amount of propaganda by the BJP government can cover up its abject failure in handling the Manipur situation, Kharge said. He said reports indicated Union Home Minister Amit Shah had finally spoken to Modi on the Manipur situation, and added, “For the last 55 days, Modi ji did not say a word on Manipur. Every Indian is waiting for him to speak.”
“If Modi ji is really concerned about Manipur, then the first thing he should do is to sack his chief minister,” he said on Twitter. More than 100 people have lost their lives in the ethnic violence between the Meitei and the Kuki communities in Manipur so far. Kharge added, “No amount of propaganda by the BJP and Modi government can cover up their abject failures in dealing with (the) Manipur violence.” The Congress chief also demanded that the government confiscate weapons “stolen from extremist organisations and anti-social elements”. Manipur CM Singh said Union Home Minister Shah has expressed concern over the shifting of violence and civil unrest from peripheral areas to districts in the Imphal valley.
