Congress MP from Inner Manipur, A Bimol Akoijam, has penned a letter to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, expressing profound concern over the 'unprecedented violent crisis' gripping Manipur. Akoijam has called for 'corrective measures' including decisive action by security forces to curb the violence.

In his correspondence on Tuesday, Akoijam also urged for a thorough investigation into allegations of involvement by illegal immigrants, foreign elements, and the illicit drug mafia in the ongoing unrest. He drew a parallel between the present turmoil and the partition of India in 1947, accentuating the severity of the current situation.

'It is distressing that such a severe crisis has unfolded under the present administration's watch,' Akoijam lamented, highlighting the loss of human lives and the displacement of approximately 60,000 people. He also stressed the immediate need for fiscal relief, effective resettlement of internally displaced persons, and a review of existing policies with armed groups to mitigate further violence and illegal activities.
