The Congress has strongly condemned the recent surge of violence in Manipur. Holding the Centre accountable, they accused the government of failing in its duty and demanded swift action against those culpable for the chaos.
In May 2023, ethnic violence erupted following a 'Tribal Solidarity March' in the hill districts, opposing the Meitei community's request for Scheduled Tribe status. As tensions escalate, over 260 lives have been claimed, with recent assaults causing new fatalities and injuries.
The Congress insists on the publication of the inquiry report led by retired Justice Balbir Singh Chauhan, and seeks immediate government action to restore order and safety in the state. Continued violence raises significant concerns over the state's stability.
