Double-engine government stood as mute spectator to Manipur crisis: Kanimozhi

New Delhi

Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) MP Kanimozhi Karunanidhi on Wednesday said while Manipur was being rocked by violence, the “double-engine” government of the BJP at the Centre and the State stood “hand-in-hand” watching.

“The silence of the Union government, the Prime Minister [Narendra Modi], and the inaction of the State government which watched as houses were burnt, the armoury was looted and people killed each other, women were being humiliated, stripped, paraded, violated and killed... this ‘double engine’ stood hand-in-hand watching and saying ‘brothers are fighting’,” the DMK leader said, participating in a discussion on the no-confidence motion against the Modi government in the Lok Sabha.
