It is established beyond doubt that the State machinery has wholly failed to control the situation for almost three months since the armed conflict started on May 3 in Manipur, a joint letter penned by 21 Parliamentarians from the INDIA parties to Governor Anusuiya Uikey said.
The members are in the State for a two-day tour. The delegation visited relief camps at Churachandpur, Moirang and Imphal.
Relating their impression from the visit the delegation said that they were “very shocked and sad to hear the stories of anxieties, uncertainties, pains and sorrows of the individuals affected by the unprecedented violence. The delegation said that there was “anger and sense of alienation” unleashed by both sides since the beginning of the clashes” amongst all communities, which must be addressed without delay.
They held both the Central and the State governments responsible for the failure to protect the lives and properties of the people of the two communities. More than 60,000 people have been displaced in the last three months the delegation noted.
“From the reports of incessant firing and arson of houses in the last few days, it is established beyond doubt that the State machinery has completely failed to control the situation for the last almost three months,” the letter noted.
The Parliamentarians underlined the “pathetic” condition of the relief camps especially the situation of children living there. The students, the MPs said face an uncertain future since all schools and educational institutions are shut. They urged the Central and State governments to address the issue on a priority basis.
“The continued internet ban for the last three months is aiding the unsubstantiated rumours, which is adding to the existing mistrust,” they wrote.
