India fumes as EU parliament holds discussion on Manipur violence; dubs it 'entirely internal matter'

India TV News  

India on Thursday again hit out at the European Parliament which adopted a motion on the Manipur violence as Prime Minister Narendra Modi landed in France. Further, in a staunch way, the concerned ministry advised the Parliament to utilise "its time more productively on its internal issues.” Notably, clashes first broke out in Manipur on May 3 after a 'Tribal Solidarity March' was organised in the hill districts to protest against the Meitei community's demand for Scheduled Tribe status. As the Indian authorities reacted sharply, EU said that “minorities, civil society, human rights defenders and journalists regularly face harassment; whereas women, in particular, face severe challenges and violations of their rights often related to tribal and religious backgrounds, including sexual violence and harassment”. “Whereas violence in India’s Manipur state has erupted along ethnic and religious lines between the mainly Hindu Meitei community and the Christian Kuki tribe, leading to a cycle of violence with over 100 people killed, over 40,000 displaced and the destruction of property and places of worship. Whereas, in the latest round of violence human rights groups have accused the Bharatiya Janata Party led government in Manipur and nationally of implementing divisive ethnonationalism policies which oppress in particular religious minorities,” the resolution said.
