New Delhi: Congress on Wednesday took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the Manipur situation saying the ”agony” of the people of the Northeastern state continues ”unabated”, but the PM is still silent.
“The agony of the people of Manipur continues unabated. Their agony is the nation’s pain but clearly not the PM’s. He continues to maintain silence,” said Congress general secretary in-charge Communications Jairam Ramesh in a tweet.
Referring to Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma’s visit to Manipur, the MP said, “HM’s belated visit and outsourced interventions to Assam CM are not having any significant impact.”
Earlier, the Congress, which has been blaming the BJP government in Manipur over the current situation in the aftermath of last month’s violence, asked the PM to break his silence on the situation in the Northeastern state, and make all efforts to bring normalcy.
The Congress also demanded that an all-party delegation should be allowed to go to Manipur to visit all the affected areas and meet all stakeholders.
