Every passing day of neglect proves the BJP is interested in prolonging the conflict in Manipur: Congress

Stepping up its attack on the Narendra Modi government, the Congress on Monday said that “every passing day of neglect” confirms the belief that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is interested in prolonging the conflict.

On Monday, leaders of 10 like-minded Opposition political parties from Manipur, including Congress leaders, had a detailed discussion on the situation in the State at the All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary Jairam Ramesh’s official residence while waiting for an appointment with the Prime Minister.

“Since the last many days, Manipuri leaders have been seeking time from Prime Minister Modi to ensure his intervention. Every passing day of neglect confirms the belief that PM Modi and the BJP are interested in prolonging the conflict, not finding a solution,” tweeted Congress general secretary (organisation) K. C. Venugopal.
