New Delhi, May 18 A Day after the party constituted a three-member ‘Fact-Finding’ team to ascertain the cause of the recent violence in Manipur, the Congress on Thursday took a dig at the BJP-led government at the Centre over the present situation in the Northeastern state.
Congress general secretary in-charge Communications Jairam Ramesh in a tweet wrote,”Fifteen days since the horrific violence erupted in Manipur and the internet was banned. Yesterday, the ban was extended for another five days. Banking, e-commerce, payments of e-bills, e-tickets, businesses, work from home, education, and many other essential services have come to a grinding halt.”
“Not a single word issued by the Prime Minister appealing for peace. Not a single visit by the union home minister or any other Cabinet Minister to the state,” the MP said.
Earlier, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge demanded the Central government to do everything possible to bring normalcy in the state.
The Congress had accused the ruling BJP that it utterly “failed” to control the situation in Manipur and demanded imposition of President’s Rule in the state.
