Manipur MP On PM's Visit: Modi's Manipur Visit A 'Joke', Completely Sidelining Crisis | India Today

Two years since the start of ethnic conflict in Manipur, the Prime Minister is visiting the state. MP Professor Bimal Akuljam provides a critical perspective on the visit. He states the trip is focused on inaugurating developmental projects worth eight thousand five hundred crore, while completely sidelining the ongoing humanitarian crisis. Akuljam calls the visit "offensive" and a "joke," questioning the absence of prior consultations with political and civil society groups. He highlights that buffer zones still exist and citizens, including himself as an MP, cannot travel freely between areas like Imphal and Churachanpur. Akuljam's sharpest critique is encapsulated in his quote: "His complete attempt to make the crisis invisible, insignificant, is what this visit signifies." He also accuses the Union government of using the former state government as a "shield" to avoid blame for the crisis. #manipur #pminmanipur #manipurviolence #itwebvideos #indiatoday #bimalakuljam #indiatoday #manipurcrisis #imphal #churachandpur #presidentsrule #ethnicconflict #indianpolitics #northeastindia Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
