The Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) condemned the exclusion of Manipur’s ongoing crisis during President Droupadi Murmu’s address to a joint sitting of both the Houses of Parliament on June 27.
MPCC working president Kh Devabrata said Saturday that the exclusion of Manipur in her speech has left the people of the state feeling “humiliated”.
“We were hoping the President in her speech would mention Manipur violence, which is the most serious crisis the country is facing as a result of narco-terrorism and the influx of armed militants, who are creating havoc by waging war against the state. How can the President avoid such an issue, considered a national issue?” said Kh Devabrata.
Devabrata also said, “We want to ask whether PM Narendra Modi will continue neglecting Manipur as the speech (of the President) was approved by the Union Cabinet. Is it a conspiracy to undermine the issue?”
Meanwhile, two more Manipur MLAs headed to New Delhi from Imphal Saturday, a day after a group of NDA MLAs landed in the national capital.
The MLAs are RK Imo, son-in-law of Manipur CM N Biren Singh and Andro MLA Th Shyamkumar.
