Citing Chief Justice of India (CJI) D.Y. Chandrachud’s comment on the Manipur High Court not having any power to make changes to the list of scheduled tribes (ST), the Congress on Tuesday said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in the State cannot escape responsibility for the violence and deaths in the State.
“In light of what the CJI has said it’s astonishing what a single judge of Manipur High Court did—triggering such a human tragedy!. But the ideological brotherhood, its henchman in Manipur, and his masters at the Centre cannot escape their responsibility,” Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh tweeted.
