Manipur Congress Accuses PM Modi of Ignoring Manipur Crisis, Prioritizing Kapoor Family
First Published: 18th December, 2024 19:03 IST
MPCC urged the centre to take immediate action to end the 19-month-long turmoil in the state.
The Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) staged a protest rally in Imphal today, criticizing both the BJP-led state government and the central government for their failure to restore peace and normalcy in the violence-hit state.
MPCC president Keisham Meghachandra expressed frustration with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s handling of the Manipur crisis, accusing him of ignoring the people’s pain while prioritizing a meeting with the Kapoor family.
Speaking to the media during the protest, Meghachandra said, “Despite countless requests for the Prime Minister to visit Manipur during this time of crisis, he has ignored the suffering of the people but found time to meet the Kapoor family.”
This statement referred to a recent meeting between Modi and the famous Bollywood’s Kapoor family, which has drawn criticism amid the ongoing violence in Manipur.
The Kapoor family had met the Prime Minister to invite him to the Raj Kapoor Film Festival, which marks 100 years of the legendary actor and filmmaker’s legacy.
The Congress party also submitted a memorandum to Governor Lakshman Prasad Acharya, urging the central government to take immediate action to end the 19-month-long turmoil in the state.
The memorandum called for the swift resettlement of internally displaced persons, secured movement of citizens between districts, and an urgent restoration of peace and security.
Manipur continues to grapple with unprecedented violence, curfews, and widespread lawlessness, leading to numerous deaths and a growing sense of uncertainty among its citizens.
Despite the gravity of the situation, the Congress claims that both the central and state governments have failed to effectively address or resolve the crisis.
The Manipur Congress has called for immediate government intervention to end the crisis and restore normalcy for the sake of the people and the nation.
