Congress Criticizes Modi for Neglecting Manipur Amid Assam Visit

New Delhi, The Congress party has openly criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his apparent lack of attention to the ongoing crisis in Manipur while he tours Assam, highlighting a perceived disparity in the government’s focus on different regions in the Northeast.

According to Kashmir Media Service, during his two-day visit to Assam, Prime Minister Modi engaged in leisure activities at Kaziranga National Park and Tiger Reserve, a move that has drawn ire from Congress officials given the simultaneous turmoil in neighboring Manipur. Jairam Ramesh, a senior Congress figure, expressed concern over the ongoing violence and political instability in Manipur, questioning the Prime Minister’s priorities.

Manipur has been described by Ramesh as experiencing a near civil war condition for the past year, with significant casualties, mass displacements, and communal strife underscoring a breakdown in local governance. Recent incidents, including the assault of two youths and the abduction of an Indian Army officer, underline the severity of the crisis.

Ramesh’s critique extends to the situation in Eastern Nagaland, where local political bodies have escalated their protests over administrative demands, signaling a broader regional discontent that, Asper Ramesh, has been met with inadequate federal response.

The Congress leader’s comments underscore a call for more engaged and responsive governance from the central government, especially in addressing the dire circumstances in Manipur and ensuring peace and democratic stability across the Northeast.
