DC Edit | After SC rebuke, Centre must act fast in Manipur

Deccan Chronicle  

The Supreme Court’s remarks, while hearing arguments in a suo motu case on the Manipur situation, that there has been an “absolute breakdown of the constitutional machinery and law and order”, are a reminder to the Union government that it must perform its responsibility of taking the state back to democracy and the constitutional mode of governance. The Union and the state governments may have well adopted a head-in-the-sand approach towards the horrendous abuse of human rights and wilful breaking of law and order in Manipur but the apex court has chosen to tell the truth to the authorities with the hope that justice will take its course. That the Supreme Court’s assessment has come after hearing the views of lawyers representing the state and Union governments emphasises the gravity of the situation. If the state government completely abdicated its responsibilities following its inability to first anticipate trouble, the Union government did not find it a case fit for its intervention despite home minister Amit Shah personally visiting and collecting feedback.
