Internet Ban Extended as State Grapples with Unrest
Since May 3, there have been violent incidents in Manipur. In an effort to prevent any future disruption of the calm in the wake of the recent events, the state administration extended the ban on internet services until Sunday. Sonia Gandhi, the leader of the Congress Parliamentary Party, claimed that the unprecedented violence has “left a deep wound in the conscience of our nation” and has had an impact on Manipurese citizens’ lives. She made a plea for harmony and peace in the region. Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Congress, questioned the decision to hold the all-party meeting at a time when Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on a State visit to the United States, implying that he doesn’t value the discussion of the current situation in Manipur in the wake of ethnic violence and clashes.
