Congress MP urges Home Minister Amit Shah to take immediate action

Imphal, Sep 11: Congress MP A Bimol Akoijam from Inner Manipur has written a letter to Home Minister Amit Shah, expressing deep concern over the “unprecedented violent crisis” in Manipur and calling for immediate “corrective measures” to restore peace and normalcy in the state.

In his letter, Akoijam urged Shah to ensure that the security forces take decisive and sensible action to contain the violence, which has led to the loss of hundreds of lives and left over 60,000 homeless.

The MP also demanded a thorough investigation into allegations of involvement of illegal immigrants, foreign elements and the drug mafia in the current crisis. He also demanded a review of existing policies and measures regarding armed groups to prevent violence and illegal activities.

Akoijam’s comments come at a time when violence is escalating in Manipur. The state government has suspended internet services in five districts in the valley and imposed bans in three districts.
