Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh is the “architect” of the ethnic violence in his State, leaders of 10 like-minded Opposition parties of Manipur said in a memorandum to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in which they also questioned the PM’s “stoic silence”.
The leaders said that they submitted the three-page memorandum to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) as they were unable to get an appointment to meet Mr. Modi before he left for the United States on Tuesday morning.
The signatories to the memorandum included leaders from the Congress, Janata Dal (United), Communist Party of India (CPI), CPI (Marxist), Trinamool Congress, Aam Admi Party, Forward Bloc, Nationalist Congress Party, Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray) and the Revolutionary Socialist Party.
