For over 80 consecutive days, the volatile situation in Manipur continues to grip the region, with reports of violence, arson, and gunfire emerging on a daily basis.

The escalating crisis in Manipur has not only triggered widespread outrage within the state but has also sparked national concern. Both the Union Government and the BJP government in Manipur are facing mounting questions about their handling of the situation.

In response to the government’s silence on the matter, opposition parties, belonging to the INDIA alliance, have taken a decisive step by moving a no-confidence motion against the Modi government. The motion aims to compel Prime Minister Modi to address the pressing issues unfolding in Manipur.

To gain deeper insights into the situation on the ground, TNM’s Senior News Editor Shabbir Ahmed speaks to Greeshma Kuthar, an independent journalist who has been reporting firsthand from the ethnic-violence hit Manipur.

    Today is the 88th consecutive day of ethnic and communal genocide in Manipur. The state has experienced 87 consecutive days & nights of violence, & terror. Homes have been burnt to the ground and those who have managed to escape have done so with only the clothes on their backs.

    Meanwhile, Biren Singh continues to be Chief Minister, Amit Shah continues to be India’s Home Minister, and Narendra Modi continues to be India’s Prime Minister. If not for the Assam Rifles & BSF, the situation would be much worse.

    India’s elected Prime Minister refuses to address Parliament for fear of being questioned, refuses to addressed the nation on Manipur refuses to take steps to end the violence, refuses to appeal for peace.

    So what is he doing? He’s giving speeches against the opposition in state election campaigns.

    The entire leadership of the ruling political party, the Hindu suppremacist BJP is ignoring the killings and violence in Manipur and are happy to let it burn. Mainstream media has been supporting Modi wholeheartedly. Opposition parties keep dragging the govt’s and people’s attention back to Manipur even at the risk of being kicked out of Parliament.

    Meanwhile, instigators are using social media & local mainstream media to spread fake news to fuel the burning fire in Manipur and to set ethnic & communal fires in the sister states of Meghalaya, Mizoram, and Assam.
