    INDIA alliance MPs meet Manipur governor, demand to restore peace

    What's the story

    The MPs from the opposition bloc Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) on Sunday met Manipur Governor Anusuiya Uikey and urged her to restore peace in the violence-hit state.

    They also submitted a memorandum related to the situation in Manipur to her.

    The opposition delegation is on a two-day visit to the state, where it met violence victims in both Kuki and Meiti areas.

    Context

    Why does this story matter?

    The development comes amid growing political tension over Manipur, which has disrupted the Parliament Monsoon session, too.

    The opposition also moved a no-confidence motion against the Centre in the Lok Sabha over the violence.

    The central government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been accused of evading discussion on Manipur and failing to subdue the ongoing ethnic violence for almost three months.

    The delegation reportedly presented their views and experiences of their ground assessment before the Manipur governor and demanded that peace be restored at the earliest in the state.
