Modi’s Greetings To Manipur People Modi, in his post, stated ” Greetings to the people of Manipur on their Statehood Day. We are incredibly proud of the role played by the people of Manipur towards India’s development. My best wishes for the progress of Manipur.”Â
Congress Leader’s Post On XCongress leader Jairam Ramesh shared on his X page that “The formerly non-biological – and now suddenly human – Prime Minister has just sent greetings to the people of Manipur on their Statehood Day through social media. Manipur was granted statehood on January 21, 1972, under the Northeastern Areas (Reorganization) Act of 1971 which led to the reorganization of the northeastern states of India. This officially declared statehood for Manipur and Tripura while Meghalaya was pushed to Assam due to its distinct terrain. Yet, he has stubbornly refused to visit Manipur even briefly ever since its agony began on May 3, 2023. He has gone all over the world but has not found the time nor the inclination to reach out to the people of the state in Imphal and other places.”Â
He added that his move is hollow and reflects his hypocrisy which has no limits. He further mentioned his stubbornness in not meeting any of the state’s MLAs or having a one-on-one meeting with the Manipur CM. The Indian National Congress has also demanded that he visits Manipur immediately if he has any concerns left within him. Well, this is not the first time Modi has been criticized for not addressing a state issue but has abundant time to travel all over the World. He lastly visited Manipur in August 2023 and criticized the opposition parties at that time. He referred to the opposition parties as arrogant and was sad that the then government caused trouble to the already troubled state. Regarding this, PM Modi stated ” But, sadly, these people betrayed Manipur people in a major way. Before the start of the monsoon session of the Parliament, the Union home minister wrote a letter to these political parties and said he immediately wanted to discuss it with them because a detailed discussion must be done on Manipur. “What Happened in Manipur?Violence and merciless attacks erupted in Manipur at the start of May 3rd, 2023, and continued to happen in the surrounding areas of Manipur till January 2024 occurring for about 7 to 8 m months. According to the reports, the reason for the sudden violence has been that the Meiteis, who were mostly Hindus, have been given the status of Scheduled tribes by the high court. This led to communal violence in the state. Firstly, the Kukizo community people were targeted but then Meiteis were also targeted. The ruling government was criticized for allowing unauthorized weaponization in a civil society. Crimes from sexual abuse to house destruction were all done to poor people.
