NCP chief Sharad Pawar on August 16 said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not think the situation in Manipur important enough to visit the state.
“Modi government has been a mute spectator to the goings on in the (Manipur) region,” Mr. Pawar told reporters ahead of his public rally in Maharashtra’s Beed district on August 17.
“The northeast region is important and sensitive. More attention needs to be paid to the areas bordering China,” the former Defence Minister said.
