During an all-party meeting in Delhi, chaired by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, opposition parties expressed the need for a unifying figure in Manipur, which has been plagued by violence for the past 50 days. They emphasized the importance of an all-party delegation visiting the state to provide the people with a "healing touch." The meeting was held to address the ongoing situation in the violence-affected state.
Delegates of all-party expressed their opinion to Home Minister.
All India Trinamool Congress demands that an all-party delegation be sent to Manipur, in the next week. The message till now from the Union Government has been one of ignoring; that needs to change to healing, caring, and restoring peace and harmony.
Thereafter, CLP leader Ibobi Singh, addressing reporters, voiced his belief that peace cannot be achieved under the current state government led by Chief Minister N Biren Singh. He called for the immediate replacement of CM.
Singh expressed disappointment at not being given sufficient time to convey his viewpoints towards the end of the meeting.
When asked if the Home Minister presented a peace plan, Singh responded negatively, indicating that no such roadmap was provided during the meeting.
"The Congress and some other parties also demanded that an all-party delegation be sent to Manipur and we hope that the prime minister will hold a similar meeting after his return from a foreign trip," he said.
Sambit Patra said a detailed presentation was given during the meeting to all participants. He said the Home Minister listen to all the views of the participants and assured them that - all concerns expressed by every participant will be considered. Home Minister assured that with cooperation from all participants will continue to work to bring peace. There was a sense of positivity - everyone express their wish to bring peace to the state, said BJP National Spokesperson Sambit Patra.
Manoj Jha, RJD MP speaks after an all-party meeting over the Manipur situation, he says, "It was an open discussion. The entire opposition went to the extent of saying that the person heading the administration of Manipur is not trustworthy. We can't have peace in Manipur till he is in charge."
Tiruchi Siva, DMK MP speaks at an all-party meeting over the Manipur situation "We expressed our concern about the incidents that are going on in Manipur for the past more than 50 days. The Home Minister just listened to every one of us. And he said that he is looking after it & said trust me. I'll restore peace. The PM has not expressed his concern. We requested that the all-party delegation has to be sent to Manipur. He said we have deployed more police that's what we suggested. It is not law and order breakdown to be controlled by police and army or Assam rifles. It is a failure of the governance in the state and the union government."
The meeting saw the participation of various political parties, such as the BJP, the Congress, Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena, the Trinamool Congress, the Mizo National Front, the BJD, the AIADMK, the DMK, the RJD, the Samajwadi Party, and the AAP.
