PM Modi’s stoic silence sends a message of indifference to Manipur’s people: Opposition leaders

The Hindu  

Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh is the “architect” of the ethnic violence in his State, leaders of 10 like-minded Opposition parties of Manipur said in a memorandum to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in which they also questioned the PM’s “stoic silence”. ‘No appointment’ Addressing a joint press conference at the All India Congress Committee headquarters, former Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh said that they were not in Delhi to beg from the Centre but had wanted to meet the Prime Minister as a guardian and to seek his immediate intervention. The former Chief Minister also wondered whether the Centre would have adopted the same approach if there had been violence in “mainland Indian states like Madhya Pradesh, Bihar or even Bengal”. “Stoic silence of Hon’ble Prime Minister over the ethnic violence which has claimed many lives and created havoc for thousands of citizens in Manipur sends a clear message of indifference to the people of Manipur,” the memorandum said.
