27 Jul 2023 Evaluate

A group of opposition MPs from I.N.D.I.A alliance will visit Manipur on July 29 and 30 to assess the situation in the northeastern state, which has seen ethnic violence since May 3. 

Congress whip in Lok Sabha Manickam Tagore said a delegation of over 20 opposition members of parliament will visit Manipur on Saturday and Sunday and will take a first-hand account of the situation in the state. Since the first week of May, Manipur has been witnessing ethnic clashes between the Meitis and Kukis, and the BJP-led state government has come under fire over its failure to stop the violence. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had visited a few places in Manipur on June and met victims, as well as civil society groups. 

Meanwhile, INDIA members attended Parliament in wearing black clothes today as a mark protest against the prime minister Narendra Modi's silence on the Manipur issue. The Opposition has been demanding a statement from the Prime Minister and a discussion on the situation in Manipur since the beginning of the Monsoon Session of Parliament on July 20. The government, on the other hand, again stressed it was ready to hold discussion, accusing the opposition of running from debate.
