Congress Questions Central Government's Silence on Drone Attacks in Manipur

The Congress criticized the central government for its silence on drone attacks in Manipur that killed two and injured nine. Congress leader O Ibobi Singh raised concerns about national security, questioning the safety of sensitive locations like Raj Bhavan and the chief minister’s bungalow.

The Congress on Monday criticized the central government for its silence regarding recent drone attacks that killed two and injured nine in Manipur's Imphal West district.

Warning of national security risks, Congress Legislature Party leader O Ibobi Singh emphasized the potential danger to high-security locations like the Raj Bhavan and the chief minister's residence. Singh highlighted that modern warfare technologies, seen in Ukraine and Israel, are now being used in Manipur.

The BJP state government has failed in its duty to protect its citizens, alleged Singh. He questioned why the central government remains a mute spectator, hinting at a possible neglect due to Manipur's smaller size. Singh's comments come amid ongoing ethnic violence that has ravaged the region since May last year.
