Imphal: President of Youth Congress Manipur, Wahengbam Anand Singh shaved his head in protest against Prime Minister Narendra Modi for failure in concrete dealing with 28 months long Manipur crisis during his visit to Manipur on Saturday.
He termed the Prime Minister’s visit as mockery to the people of the state.
This few hours visit cannot help bring an end to the crisis. “This is a cheating”. The Prime Minister should discuss the issue with legislators, civil society organisations and other stakeholders to clearly digest the issue and people’s suffering for the past more than two years of unrest, Anand said.
“Manipur crisis is orchestrated by Narendra Modi, Amit Shah and Biren Singh,” he said.
The first visit of the Prime Minister to the state since the outbreak of ethnic violence in May 2023, is totally a betrayal to the People of Manipur, Anand said.
Members of the Youth Congress Manipur staged a protest rally at Imphal. Police prevented the rally from advancing further.
They alleged the Prime Minister as perpetrator of unforgivable brutality to Manipur and its people.
They demanded to shift the internally displaced persons from relief camps to their original homes, and to bring back peace and rebuild unity in the state.
They raised slogan “We Condemn Narendra Modi’s dishonest visit” among others.
