Union Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Shobha Karandlaje has blamed previous governments in for the ongoing violence in Manipur and has alleged that efforts were being made to project the Union government in a bad light by utilising the viral video of two women being disrobed in public.
Speaking to presspersons in Hubballi on Saturday, Ms. Karandlaje said that a similar incident had been reported from West Bengal and it was wrong to blame Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP for the violence in Manipur.
She said that what was happening in Manipur was related to a conflict between tribes and the reason for the conflict was the faults committed by the previous governments. “Infiltrators from other nations have congregated in North Eastern States and the Union government is making continuous efforts to send them out. Consequently it has led to violence,” she said.
