Expressing “shock” at the evidence of “unprecedented violence” in Manipur, and the “brazen indifference” of the Prime Minister, Opposition MPs on a visit to the State held both the Central and State governments reponsible for the breakdown in law and order ever since a violent ethnic conflict broke out on May 3.
“It is established beyond doubt that the State machinery has completely failed to control the situation for the last almost three months,” they said, in a joint letter to Governor Anusiya Uikey. The letter was penned by 21 Parliamentarians from the Indian National Developmental, Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) parties who visited relief camps at Churachandpur, Moirang and Imphal during their two-day tour of the State.
