At the heart of the Opposition’s demands is the insistence that Prime Minister Narendra Modi personally address the issue in the Parliament, seeking transparency and accountability in the government’s actions.
The Manipur crisis, which erupted on May 3, has tragically resulted in the loss of hundreds of lives, leaving thousands displaced and seeking refuge in relief camps.
With the situation at hand demanding immediate attention and resolution, the Home Minister’s appeal for cooperation from all quarters is crucial in finding a comprehensive and lasting solution.
