Rahul Gandhi Accuses BJP of Civil War Policies in Manipur

Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi accused the BJP-led government of pushing Manipur into a civil war due to its policies. He criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not visiting the state since ethnic violence erupted. Gandhi initiated a debate in the Lok Sabha on the president's address, highlighting the administration's inaction and the plight of Manipur's women.

Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, launched a scathing attack on the BJP-led government on Monday, accusing it of pushing Manipur into a state of 'civil war' through its policies and politics.

The Congress leader intensified his criticism towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has yet to visit the state since ethnic violence erupted.

Initiating the opposition debate in the Lok Sabha on the Motion of Thanks for the president's address, Gandhi alleged the government is acting as though Manipur is not a part of India.

''You have immersed Manipur into a civil war. Manipur has been burnt by you, your policies, and your politics,'' he charged.

Highlighting the plight of women in the northeastern state, Gandhi remarked on the absence of female representation within the ruling party's organisation.

Manipur has been experiencing unrest since May last year following ethnic violence between Kuki tribals and the valley-dominant Meitei community over the latter's demand for Scheduled Tribe status.
