Home Minister Amit Shah drops truth bombs over Manipur issue
In a blistering address that set the Lok Sabha abuzz, Union Home Minister Amit Shah unleashed a torrent of revelations on the sizzling Manipur issue. Without mincing words, Amit Shah castigated the Opposition for skirting around the ‘sensitive’ matter. According to Amit Shah, he had been open to dialogue since day one, yet the Opposition seemed to shy away from any substantial discussion. The drama escalated when he pointed out the Opposition’s hesitation to demand a statement from the Prime Minister if unsatisfied with his remarks.
Opposition’s ‘Silence Game’ Called Out!
While BJP’s regime over the northeastern gem, Manipur, boasted an era of peace, Amit Shah fiercely highlighted that the state never witnessed scenarios warranting curfews during their governance. Addressing the no-confidence motion, he emphatically stated that attempts to mute him would be in vain. Reminding the Opposition of the whopping 130 crore people that stand behind them, he proclaimed that the need for a curfew never emerged during BJP’s six-year rule.

Politics and Sensitivity: A Dangerous Cocktail?
Amit Shah, straddling the line between assertion and sensitivity, acknowledged the sporadic violent outbreaks in Manipur. Expressing disapproval over leveraging these incidents for political mileage, he branded such maneuvers as “shameful.” He further defended Chief Minister N Biren Singh, emphasizing Singh’s active collaboration with the Centre to reinstate peace in Manipur.
Lok Sabha’s Clarion Call for Peace!
In a climactic appeal, Amit Shah beckoned the conflicting Meitei and Kuki communities of Manipur towards dialogue, stressing that aggression is not the panacea. With a vow to reinstate tranquility in the state, he cautioned against politicizing this pivotal issue. In a show of solidarity, the Lok Sabha, amid the ruckus, united to pass a resolution advocating for peace in Manipur, which witnessed rapturous support from NDA members, even under the vigilant eyes of the opposition.
