Uniting the House: The Hindu Editorial on the government, the Opposition and the Manipur issue

The Hindu  

Both the Opposition led by the Congress and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party say they want a parliamentary debate on Manipur, but they are unable to agree on a mechanism to do it. The abhorrent violence, including repeated incidents of sexual violence against tribal women in the State, should have brought the government and the Opposition together; instead, they are unable to even debate the issue. The Opposition has insisted that any discussion must begin with a statement by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who would not commit to that. Home Minister Amit Shah said the government was willing to discuss the issue and sought the cooperation of the Opposition, which saw the outreach as an attempt to shield Mr. Modi. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has written to Mr. Shah saying that the government cannot be seeking the Opposition’s cooperation while the Prime Minister is likening it to extremist outfits.
