Manipur violence: BJP accuses Congress of encouraging nexus of foreign forces aiming to derail India’s progress

The Hindu  

The Bharatiya Janata Party president J.P. Nadda on Friday accused the Congress of “endorsing and encouraging a nexus of foreign forces looking to derail India’s progress”, stating that the fallout of Congress governments’ failure to address local critical issues in the early 1990s were being felt in Manipur even today. In a letter to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, which was in reply to Mr. Kharge’s letter to President Droupadi Murmu on the issue of violence in Manipur, the BJP chief said he felt “compelled to respond to the incorrect, false and politically motivated narrative which your words fail to camouflage”. This complete failure of India’s security and administrative protocols under your government is one of the major reasons why militant and habitually violent organisations are attempting to destroy the hard-won peace in Manipur and push it back several decades into the age of anarchy.’ The BJP chief said the pattern of Congress leaders “endorsing and encouraging a nexus of foreign forces looking to derail India’s progress is truly worrying”. Replying to Mr. Nadda’s letter, Congress general secretary in-charge, communications, Jairam Ramesh said through a post on X that the letter was “full of falsehoods and a 4D exercise - denial, distortion, distraction, and defamation”.
