Manipur, India, : In a scathing critique of the current state of affairs in Manipur, Congress party president Mallikarjuna Kharge took to social media platform X to voice his concerns and condemn the ongoing violence that has plagued the northeastern state for the past 147 days. Kharge's comments also brought to light the absence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the state amid the turmoil.
The situation in Manipur has taken a harrowing turn as disturbing images of students being targeted in the violence have circulated, once again shocking the entire nation. What is even more concerning is the apparent weaponization of violence against women and children in the midst of this strife, casting a dark shadow over the picturesque state.
For 147 days, people of Manipur are suffering, but PM Modi does not have time to visit the state.

The horrific images of students being targeted in this violence has once again shocked the entire nation.
It is now apparent that violence against women and children was weaponised…
However, amid these dire circumstances, there is a glimmer of hope on the horizon. Manipur is getting better every day as resilient communities come together to rebuild their lives and heal the wounds inflicted by the prolonged crisis.
Manipur, known for its natural beauty and rich cultural heritage, has been transformed into a battlefield, and Mallikarjuna Kharge is not mincing words when pointing the finger squarely at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the escalating crisis.
Kharge's statement, which comes at a time when the nation is demanding answers and swift action, emphasizes the urgency of the situation. He called for the immediate dismissal of the BJP's Chief Minister in Manipur, citing incompetence as the root cause of the turmoil. This, he argued, should be the first step in controlling any further unrest in the state.
The Congress president's bold stance is a call to action, demanding accountability from the ruling party and the central government. As the crisis in Manipur continues to unfold, the nation watches with bated breath, hoping for a swift resolution to end the suffering of the people and restore peace to this troubled region.
While Prime Minister Modi's absence in Manipur has raised eyebrows and questions, it remains to be seen how the government will respond to the mounting pressure for intervention and change in leadership. For now, Mallikarjuna Kharge's words serve as a rallying cry for those seeking justice and stability in Manipur, echoing the sentiments of countless citizens who long for an end to their suffering.
