NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday talked about Manipur outside Parliament for the first time ever after ethnic violence broke out in the northeastern state more than three months ago. He alleged that the opposition parties, whom he called GHAMANDIA (arrogant), betrayed the strife-torn state.
Though Modi had spoken on the Manipur issue in his 2-hour-13-minute reply to the motion inside Parliament on August 10, he spoke for the first time on the topic outside Parliament ever since ethnic violence broke out in Manipur on May 3.
