The all-party meeting convened by Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday (June 24) to discuss the current situation in Manipur has begun in New Delhi. Amit Shah had called a meeting to take stock of the situation in the violence-hit state.
Amit Shah and BJP National President JP Nadda reached the Parliament in the same vehicle regarding the meeting. This all-party meeting is being held in the Library Auditorium of the Parliament. Amit Shah had made a four-day visit to the violence-hit state in early May. During this, he appealed for peace and warned of strict action against the miscreants.
Who attended the meeting
Other leaders including JP Nadda, Union Minister Prahlad Joshi, Union Minister Nityanand Rai, BJP leader Pinaki Mishra, Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma, TMC leader Derek O’Brien, CPI(M) MP John Brittas are included in the meeting. In this meeting, the central government will brief the leaders of all parties about the violence and its causes.
Opposition’s attack on the meeting
However, many questions were raised from the opposition regarding this meeting. The Congress on Thursday (June 22) said that when Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on an official visit to the US, what is the point of calling an all-party meeting on the issue of Manipur at such a time. Opposition leaders have alleged many times that PM Modi has remained silent about the violence till now. Amidst all this, today’s meeting is being considered very important.
However, the BJP has also countered the opposition’s allegations. BJP’s IT department chief Amit Malviya alleged that the violence in Manipur is the legacy of the Congress, as the seeds of caste strife were sown when the Congress was in power both at the Center and in the state. He had claimed in the tweet that the Congress first demanded an all-party meeting and now that it has been announced, it is creating grounds to boycott it just two days before the meeting.
