Inaction, silence of BJP govt on Manipur situation unforgivable, criminal: Cong

The Congress slammed the Narendra Modi government on Saturday over the situation in Manipur, saying its “inaction and silence” on the matter is “unexplainable, unforgivable and criminal”.

The opposition party’s attack came in a statement that was released after a meeting held by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge with leaders from the northeastern states of Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Tripura and Sikkim.

Taking to Twitter, former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi said, “Manipur burns. EU Parliament discusses India’s internal matter. PM hasn’t said a word on either!” “Meanwhile, Rafale gets him a ticket to the Bastille Day Parade,” he added.
