Imphal, February 13 2024:
Manipur State Council/Communist Party of India has maintained that parliamentary elections should not be conducted in Manipur until the ongoing crisis is resolved.
MSC/CPI has expressed discontent with Prime Minister Narendra Modi who seems more focused on "campaigning for the parliamentary elections" in a statement issued by M Joykumar Luwang, assistant secretary, MSC/CPI.
Highlighting the plight of over 60,000 people currently seeking shelter at relief camps, MSC/CPI stated that the intermittent aid provided by the State Government will not bring any tangible results while adding that the relief extended by ordinary citizens from different areas of Manipur are more than what the State has provided to the conflict survivors.
MSC/CPI has also urged the State Government to build special stalls in prominent towns including Imphal to facilitate the sale of different products made by displaced persons.
Further, the statement has decried the failure of Union Home Minister Amit Shah to rein in the violence even as the crisis has entered the tenth month.
Accusing the Prime Minister of neglecting the State and its people, MSC/CPI maintained that secularism has suffered under the BJP rule and that Gods appear to be of more importance than human lives now.
