Imphal, July 31, 2023 (PPI-OT): The 21-member parliamentary delegation of the opposition’s Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) has said that the silence of the Indian Prime Minister shows his brazen indifference towards the violence in Manipur. The parliamentary delegation of INDIA is on a two-day visit to Manipur. They visited relief camps in Churachandpur, Bishnupur and Imphal West districts and interacted with the affected people.

The delegation met Governor Anusuiya Uikey and also submitted a memorandum to him. After meeting the Governor, Congress Lok Sabha group leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said, the Governor herself expressed pain and grief. “During this two-day visit, whatever we witnessed, whatever experience we gained, she agreed to what we said. She also suggested that together we should hold talks with the leaders of all communities and find a solution.

“The Governor also suggested that both the opposition and ruling parties should together send an all-party delegation to Manipur and talk to leaders of all communities which is essential to resolve the sense of distrust among the people,” Chowdhury said.

In the memorandum to Governor, the MPs said: “We are, indeed, very shocked and sad to hear the stories of anxieties, uncertainties, pains and sorrows of the individuals affected by the unprecedented violence unleashed by both sides since the beginning of the clashes.” The delegation criticised Prime Minister Narendar Modi for not visiting the violence hit state and failing to restore peace and normalcy even after around three months.
