Lt. General PC Nair, Director General of Assam Rifles while addressing the media persons on September 01, shared that the situation they are facing in Manipur due to Manipur violence is unprecedented. Furthermore, he added that there is a need for realisation to come for the people that the only way forward is peace. “The situation that we are facing in Manipur is unprecedented. We have never faced anything of this kind. Something similar happened in the early 90s when the Nagas and Kukis fought and then within the Kuki groups also there was a fight in the late 90s. Today, the biggest challenge is the large number of weapons that are out within both communities. Related to this, is the minds of both communities. Today, there's so much against each other, it's so corrupted. This needs to be stalled. There is a need for realisation to come for the people that the only way forward is peace...,” PC Nair added

As ethnic violence continues to engulf the Indian state of Manipur, Rajya Sabha Leader of Opposition and Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on July 25 launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the issue of Manipur horror. He said, “We insist PM Modi to come to the Parliament and speak on the Manipur issue but he is talking about East India Company in his party meeting. Why is he scared about opposition parties naming themselves as I.N.D.I.A. They are nervous because of our successful meetings in Patna and Bengaluru. PM Modi has become directionless, he cannot understand what to do and what to say. He is giving several statements outside, but we want him to come to the Parliament and have a detailed discussion and speak on the actions that the Govt is going to take on this. The Manipur issue is not like the ones in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh or West Bengal, it is way more serious. This is a concern for all the Northeast states in the country. They are not concerned about the atrocities against women.”
