India’s opposition targets Modi in their no-confidence motion over ethnic violence in Manipur state

Associated Press  

NEW DELHI — India’s opposition accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of choosing silence while a northeastern state governed by his party convulsed in ethnic violence as Parliament began debate Tuesday on a no-confidence motion against his government that’s certain to be defeated. For three months, Modi has been largely silent on the bloodshed in the remote state, which teeters on the brink of a civil war, and the opposition moved the no-confidence motion to force Modi to address the Manipur conflict from the floor of Parliament. He said Modi’s silence showed the failure of his party on a state and federal level, and said Modi “has not uttered a word of condolence” or even appealed for peace in Manipur since the violence began in early May. They have also called for the firing of Biren Singh, Manipur’s top elected official and a BJP member, and to impose a rule that would bring the state under direct federal control.
