The Union government should dismiss the Biren Singh government in Manipur and impose President’s Rule in order to start the peace process under a neutral administration, the Congress said on Friday.
The principal Opposition party also objected to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement in which he equated crimes against women in Congress-ruled Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh with the May 4 Manipur incident in which two women were paraded naked by a mob.
Referring to Mr. Modi’s statement on June 20 about being angry over the Manipur incident, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge tweeted, “If you were angry then instead of making false equivalence with Congress-governed States, you could have first dismissed your Chief Minister of Manipur”.
