    It will help if Assam CM did not poke his nose into Manipur: Chidambaram

    Congress leader P. Chidambaram on Sunday took a dig at Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma over his remarks on Manipur that peace will return in a week and saying it will help if he did not poke his nose in the violence-hit state.

    Chidambaram, who is a former Union Home Minister, also said that it would help if Manipur Chief Minister N, Biren Singh resigned as the CM and President’s Rule was imposed in the northeastern state for a few months.

    In a tweet, Chidambaram said, “CM, Assam has promised that peace will return to Manipur in a week. It will help if CM, Assam did not poke his nose into Manipur’s conflict and stayed away. It will also help if Biren Singh resigned as CM and President’s Rule was imposed for a few months.”

    His remarks came after Sarma on Saturday said the situation in neighbouring northeastern state of Manipur will improve within 7-10 days, with the state and central governments working “silently” to restore peace.

    He had hit out at the Congress and alleged that the opposition party was showing its concern when “relative peace has come in the northeastern state”.

    More than 100 people have lost their lives in the ethnic violence between Meitei and Kuki communities in Manipur since clashes first started on May 3 and thousands of people have been forced to take shelter in relief camps.

  • Congress leader accuses Defense Minister of lying in Chhattisgarh

    Congress leader accuses Defense Minister of lying in Chhattisgarh

    Raipur. The Congress has hit out at Union Minister Rajnath Singh’s statement on increasing conversions in Chhattisgarh. Congress spokesperson Sushil Anand Shukla accused the Defense Minister of lying and said that conversion took place in Raman Raj. The RSS people do the gimmick of conversion by wearing the robes of priests. He is a Union Minister, why doesn’t he make a law on this by talking to PM Modi?

    It is clear that BJP wants conversion to happen in Chhattisgarh. Congress Communications Department President Sushil Anand Shukla said on the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Ministers to Chhattisgarh that Union Ministers are coming to Chhattisgarh to fulfill their political objectives. Small-fat ministers often roam here, but they did not tell how much the people of Chhattisgarh would benefit from the schemes of their department. Even the Lok Sabha MPs do not take advantage of his visit in their respective constituencies. Union Ministers are baking bread by coming here only for politics.

    On Dr. Raman Singh’s statement that coming of Rahul Baba will not make any difference in Chhattisgarh, Sushil Anand Shukla said that Raman Singh should see what is his condition here. There has been a change in the life of the people of the state under the Congress rule. BJP does not make any leader stand in front of CM Bhupesh. They are not even making Dr. Raman Singh, who was CM for 15 years, a small face.

  • Congress calls Amit Shah’s all-party meeting on Manipur crisis a ‘belated step’

    Congress calls Amit Shah’s all-party meeting on Manipur crisis a ‘belated step’

    Delhi (IANS) | The Congress termed the all-party meeting called by Home Minister Amit Shah on June 24 to discuss the Manipur crisis as a too late step. Hitting out at Shah, Congress general secretary (organisation) K.C. Venugopal said, after 50 days of death and destruction in Manipur, Home Minister Amit Shah’s call for an all-party meeting is too late. The government woke up only after Sonia Gandhi’s address to the people of Manipur.

    Criticizing the government, the Congress leader said that firstly, the absence of the Prime Minister (Narendra Modi) from such a serious meeting shows their weakness and unwillingness to face up to their failures. He said, even when several delegations sought his meeting, he did not have time for them.

    Things have turned bad since the home minister’s visit to Manipur, he said. Can we expect real peace under his leadership? ,

    The Congress Rajya Sabha MP said, “Any effort for peace should have been in Manipur, where the conflicting communities would have been brought to a table for discussion and a political solution would have been worked out.”

    Venugopal said, if this effort is made sitting in Delhi, then there will be lack of seriousness in it. The whole country is expecting serious intervention from the central government, which has not happened so far.

    On Wednesday, Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP) president Sonia Gandhi in a video statement condoled the deaths in violence-hit Manipur and appealed for peace.

    Significantly, after the violent clashes in Manipur since May 3, more than 100 people have died and about 50,000 people are forced to live in relief camps.

    The Congress is questioning the silence of the Prime Minister on this issue.
