Congress Demands Amit Shah’s Ouster Over Manipur Violence

The Congress party has accused the Indian government, specifically Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, of mishandling the crisis in Manipur. They demanded Shah's resignation and criticized Modi for not visiting the state. Over 60,000 people have been displaced due to ongoing violence since May 2023.

The Congress party has leveled serious allegations against the Indian government, holding Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah responsible for the persistent violence in Manipur. At a press conference on Wednesday, Congress leaders emphasized that Shah should be removed from his position due to his 'total failure' in managing the crisis.

The opposition condemned Prime Minister Modi for not visiting the violence-stricken state, arguing that he seems more preoccupied with international issues rather than resolving domestic conflicts. 'A state has been burning for the last 16 months and our Prime Minister doesn't have a minute to spare for Manipur,' stated Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate alongside other party leaders.

Shrinate also noted that former Governor Anusuiya Uikey had highlighted the dire situation, indicating that the people of Manipur are still awaiting Prime Minister Modi's visit. The violence, which began escalating on May 3, 2023, has seen the use of sophisticated weaponry and has displaced over 60,000 people. The Congress demands an inquiry into the Prime Minister's absence and Shah's inaction.
