Prime Minister Narendra Modi finally broke his silence on the ongoing situation in Manipur on June 3. Speaking in the Rajya Sabha during the ‘Motion of Thanks’ on the President’s address, the Prime Minister assured that efforts to restore normalcy in Manipur are underway.
PM Modi highlighted that over 11,000 FIRs have been filed and more than 500 people have been arrested in connection with the violence. He also mentioned that incidents of violence are reportedly on the decline. However, his speech did not include details on any political steps to bring back peace in the troubled state. It seemed like the Prime Minister chose to stay on the surface, rather than diving deep into the heart of the issue.
"The government is continuously making efforts to normalise the situation in Manipur. More than 11,000 FIRs have been registered and over 500 people have been arrested. Incidents of violence are continuously reducing in Manipur. Today, schools, colleges, offices and other institutions are open in the state. The Central and State governments is talking to all stakeholders to restore peace," the PM said.
The PM also spoke on the flood situation and shared that two teams of NDRF reached Manipur earlier today. He also took a jibe at Congress while saying that the age-old party had imposed presidential rule ten times in the state.
