The Congress said the decision to convene an all-party meeting on June 24 by the Union Home Minister Amit Shah was “too little, too late” and argued that the move to hold the meeting in the absence of the Prime Minister, who is on a visit to the US, shows that the deliberations are not important for him.
The party also alleged that the prime minister’s absence from such a serious meeting shows his “cowardice and unwillingness to confront his failures.”
Reacting to the government’s decision to consult political parties, AICC general secretary in charge of organisation K C Venugopal said, “Well after 50 days of death and destruction in Manipur, Home Minister’s call for an all-party meeting is too little too late. The government only woke up after Sonia Gandhi ji’s address to the people of Manipur.”
The Union Home Minister Amit Shah has convened an all-party meeting on June 24 in New Delhi to discuss the situation in the state which has been roiled by ethnic clashes since May 3 that have claimed more than 110 lives and displaced more than 45,000 people.
In a Twitter post Wednesday evening, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Home Affairs said: “Union Home Minister Shri @AmitShah has convened an all party meeting on 24th June at 3 PM in New Delhi to discuss the situation in Manipur.”
