‘Union treating Manipur as its fiefdom’, says new MP Bimol Akoijam on CM’s absence at Delhi meet

The Hindu  

Newly-elected Manipur Congress MP A. Bimol Akoijam on Monday said the Union government was “treating Manipur as a non-entity” and as its own “fiefdom” “as if there is no State government there”. In addition to the Union government coming under suspicion among some populations of the State, this also raises questions about the Chief Minister’s “submissiveness”, Mr. Akoijam said. Several Meitei civil society leaders told The Hindu that the Chief Minister’s absence in Monday’s meeting was “yet another sign” that the crisis in Manipur was directly being controlled by the Union government’s Ministry of Home Affairs in Delhi. Mr. Akoijam said the Chief Minister’s absence from the meeting on Monday was “adding to the feeling on the ground that the CM is operating under the thumb of the Union government”.
