Amid the growing dissension within the ruling BJP led coalition, the Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) has condemned the exclusion of the over-year-long “Manipur crisis” in President Droupadi Murmu’s address to the joint sitting of Parliament on Thursday. Manipur PCC working president K Devabrata told reporters that the Congress party vehemently condemns the omission of the Manipur crisis, which is one of the most important issues in the country, from the Presidential speech given on the Parliamentary floor on June 27. He regretted that the ongoing Manipur crisis, which is a national threat instigated by narco-terrorists, the influx of armed militants, and the issue even referred to by the Union Home Minister, Amit Shah, as ‘war against the nation,’ was ignored.
Asserting that it was the responsibility of the President to inform the parliament about the proposed action plan of the government to the Members of Parliament, he said, “The President’s speech has to be equitable and must carry the voice of justice. It is not a mouthpiece of the present NDA govt sworn in recently. PM Narendra Modi’s negligence of Manipur is condemnable.
We must condemn it.” He said that the ongoing Manipur crisis is unlike any other Indian state has seen before. “.
..In such a scenario, the northeastern states deserve better treatment from the Centre, said the PCC chief.
He also pointed out that the Prime Minister has also maintained a silence on the matter for a considera.
