Every passing day of neglect confirms belief that BJP interested in prolonging conflict: Cong on Manipur violence

The Congress on Monday stepped up its attack on the government over the situation in violence-hit Manipur, saying “every passing day of neglect” confirms the belief that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP are interested in prolonging the conflict.

The Congress’ attack came a day after it demanded that an all-party delegation be allowed to visit the state.

On Monday, leaders of 10 like-minded Opposition political parties from Manipur, including Congress leaders from the state, had an in-depth discussion on the situation in the state at AICC general secretary Jairam Ramesh’s official residence here while waiting for an appointment with the prime minister.
