General Malik, referring to a tweet by a retired senior army officer from Manipur on the bleak situation in the state, tagged Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Home Minister Amit Shah, asking for "urgent attention at the highest level."
Earlier, Lieutenant General L Nishikanta Singh (retired), a resident of state capital Imphal, tweeted the state is now "stateless", a day after the house of Union Minister RK Ranjan Singh was set on fire by miscreants.
"I'm just an ordinary Indian from Manipur living a retired life. The state is now 'stateless'. Life and property can be destroyed anytime by anyone just like in Libya, Lebanon, Nigeria, Syria, etc. It appears Manipur has been left to stew in its own juice. Is anyone listening?" Lt General Singh tweeted.
