New Delhi, June 21, 2023 (PPI-OT): The Indian National Congress has said that Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, has completely failed in his duty by choosing to deliberately ignore the violence-hit Manipur state at the time of crisis. Narendra Modi is on a state visit to the US. According to Kashmir Media Service, Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh hitting out at Narendra Modi in a tweet today, said, “Let us remind ourselves amidst all the news of the Prime Minister’s visit to the USA that today is the 50th consecutive day of Manipur’s pain, distress and agony. The Prime Minister who gives gyaan (knowledge) on so many issues have sadly not said a word on the tragedy that has engulfed the state, has not given an appointment to representatives of political parties who sought time from him, and has given no indication whatsoever that he even cares or is concerned.”
Ramesh said Narendra Modi totally and completely failed his duty as the Prime Minister of India by choosing to deliberately ignore Manipur in a time of crisis. His behaviour on Manipur is most shocking and beyond comprehension, he said. His remarks came a day after Narendra Modi embarked for his US state visit on Tuesday. On Tuesday, leaders of 10 opposition parties from violence hit Manipur, led by the Congress, accused the Prime Minister of ignoring the people of the north-eastern state, saying that there was a feeling of hurt and disappointment.
The Congress also took a swipe at Narendra Modi saying that the he has time to meet film writer Manoj Muntashir, who wrote obscene dialogues for the movie ‘Adipursh’, without any appointment for 45 minutes, while leaders from the violence ridden state, including those from the BJP, were not able to get audience with him (the PM). The Congress has been critical of Narendra Modi’s silence on the Manipur violence.
