Union Home Minister Amit Shah criticised the Congress for turning the Manipur violence into a political matter during a Lok Sabha debate on a no-confidence motion. He emphasised that the BJP is open to discussing the issue and highlighted a decrease in violence in Manipur, urging the Opposition “not to put fuel to the fire”.
“I agree with the Opposition’s claim that ethnic clashes have taken place in Manipur. Manipur violence is shameful, politicising it is even more shameful,” Amit Shah said while speaking about Manipur clashes in Lok Sabha.
Saying that the situation has improved in Manipur, he went on to say, “I request the Opposition not to put fuel on fire.
Shah pointed out that we asked Rahul Gandhi to go to Churachandpur via helicopter, but he opposed and took the road route, which resulted in a confrontation with the Manipur Police.
Rejecting calls for the removal of Manipur’s Chief Minister, Shah affirmed CM Biren Singh’s collaboration with the central government to address the state’s challenges.
Shah alleged that the Opposition had little interest in meaningful discussions and preferred disruption over productive dialogue.
