Prime Minister Modi is scared of speaking on Manipur inside Parliament, alleges Congress

The Hindu  

July 24, 2023 10:20 pm | Updated July 25, 2023 07:14 am IST - New Delhi Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scared of speaking on the Manipur violence in Parliament because of the “gross mismanagement” by the Centre and the State government, the Congress alleged on July 24. At a press conference at the party headquarters, Deputy Leader of the Congress in Lok Sabha, Gaurav Gogoi, said that Union Ministers and BJP leaders were shielding “the Prime Minister from tough questions just like bouncers do it for celebrities”. Responding to Home Minister Amit Shah’s assertion in the Lok Sabha that he was ready for a discussion, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said it was a “desperate bid to manage headlines” and claimed that “Home Minister is not doing anybody any special favour”. Manipur is in the middle of a civil war, but the PM is hiding behind his subordinates.” Parliament is dysfunctional because the Prime Minister is scared of directly facing questions.
