The Congress urged on Monday that Chief Minister N Biren Singh be fired immediately and that the Union government assume full responsibility for the delicate security situation in Manipur amid an increase in violence.
The Manipur Commission of Inquiry, which was authorized by the Supreme Court, was also instructed to accelerate its investigation.
“Unforgivable” is how Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge described Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “abject failure” in Manipur.
The claims made by the opposition party coincide with new violence that left at least five people dead in the state’s Jiribam area on Saturday.
Authorities claim that terrorists shot a man to death while he slept in his home. Four armed people were killed in a fierce gunfight between members of the competing communities that followed the murder.
Former Manipur Governor, Anusuiya Uikey ji has echoed the voice of the people of Manipur. She said that people of the strife-torn state are upset and sad, for they wanted PM Modi to visit them.”
In the past 16 months, Prime Minister Modi has not spent a single second in Manipur, even as violence continues unabated in the state and people suffer the consequences of “Modi-Shah’s complicity”, the Congress president said.
According to Kharge, the Indian Army, the state security adviser, and representatives of the Union Home Ministry currently manage the unified command, which is in charge of Manipur’s security operations.
Attacks using drones and rocket-propelled grenades have started, and he claimed that this is now posing a threat to national security.
According to Kharge, the Congress has demanded the immediate removal of the Manipur chief minister.
He asserted that the Union administration must assume full responsibility for the delicate security situation and that, with the assistance of state forces, there should be a vigorous crackdown on all insurgent organizations.
According to him, efforts to promote peace and normalcy need to get on right away and involve all political parties, legislators, and members of civil society from every community.
