Congress Blames BJP for Violence in Manipur
NEW DELHI: In a recent statement, the Congress party has attributed the ongoing violence in Manipur to the ruling BJP government, highlighting the devastating impact it has had on the state. After more than 20 months of turmoil, Congress claims that their demand for President’s rule has finally been acknowledged, albeit at a significant human cost—over 300 lives lost and widespread displacement.
Failure of Leadership
Congress spokesperson Jairam Ramesh criticized Home Minister Amit Shah for the apparent mismanagement of the situation in Manipur. Ramesh expressed concern over Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s absence from the state, accusing him of “globe-trotting” while neglecting the urgent need for reconciliation and peace in the region.
Impact on Society
Ramesh emphasized that the imposition of President’s rule comes after what the Supreme Court referred to as an “absolute breakdown of constitutional machinery” in Manipur. He stated, “The fabric of Manipur’s society has been allowed to be severely damaged, if not totally destroyed.” This alarming situation arose despite the BJP and its allies securing a majority in February 2022, leading to a “colossal tragedy” just 15 months later.
Moving Forward
As the political landscape shifts in Manipur, the focus now turns to rebuilding and restoring peace. The Congress party’s call for action raises questions about the future governance of the state and the path toward reconciliation.
