The Prime Minister Has a Habit of Making Tall Claims. Manipur Has Not Been Saved

The Quint  

Regarding Manipur, the prime minister has remained a silent spectator. He refused to utter the ‘M’ word for months after the violence occurred and had to be literally dragged to parliament by an uncompromising Opposition, where in a speech lasting over an hour, he only uttered the word "Manipur" only once. In normal circumstances, no matter how callous a central government, the state's chief minister presiding over such a reign of terror would have been asked to step down, but none of that happened. What would it take for the prime minister to even acknowledge that the government has failed Manipur and its people?
