New Delhi, Sept 29: Despite Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s commitment in Parliament, the Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) stated peace in strife-torn Manipur remains elusive, and sought his immediate action.
The Shiv Sena (UBT) also wanted to know what the BJP-led government at the Centre was doing to improve the situation in Manipur.

“PM Modi assured the country that peace will be restored in the state of Manipur soon, but it eludes the state and violence continues there,” Clyde Crasto, national spokesperson of the NCP said in a statement.
“Yesterday, the private residence of Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh was attacked. If this can happen to a person in government, one can understand what the common people of Manipur are suffering for months,” he said.
Meanwhile, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut stated that the situation in Manipur is dire and that the administration, Union Home Ministry, and Defence Ministry have all failed to restore peace. “Students were killed…”What is the government up to?” he inquired. “They made the new Parliament building, but no discussion on Manipur was allowed,” Raut stated.
He claimed that this is a deliberate ploy to incite unrest before 2024. In May of this year, Manipur slid into chaos and unrest in response to a high court judgement asking the state administration to consider placing the non-tribal Meitei population on the list of Scheduled Tribes.
