WATCH: Manipur facing civil war-like situation, but PM has not spoken a word, says Congress MP
The HinduCongress MP A. Bimol Akoijam made a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi for remaining silent on Manipur, which has been affected by ethnic violence for the past one year. In a late-night speech in the Lok Sabha on Monday, he said there is a civil war-like situation in Manipur, “yet our Prime Minister has remained mute, not even a word”. I will keep quiet the moment the Prime Minister opens his mouth, and the nationalist party says that Manipur is a part of India and we care for the people of that State,” said Mr. Akoijam who defeated Union Minister Rajkumar Ranjan Singh in the recent election. If you hear the anxiety and pain in my voice please go back and see the 60,000 people languishing in relief camps, don’t talk about Partition Remembrance Day till then,” he said.
