Opposition criticizes Modi for neglecting violence in Manipur

Opposition members in the Rajya Sabha criticized Prime Minister Modi for not visiting Manipur amid ongoing violence. They described the government's claims of normalcy as misleading and highlighted the dire situation, with many people displaced and casualties reported. During discussions on the Manipur Budget for 2025-26, Congress MP Shaktisinh Gohil urged the BJP to prioritize the state's needs over political interests. Other opposition leaders echoed calls for increased relief funding and questioned the effectiveness of the government's "double-engine" approach. Critics also condemned the government's handling of the situation, with some arguing that President's Rule undermines democracy. They demanded more support for disaster relief and emphasized the need for the Prime Minister to show solidarity with the people of Manipur.
