"PM Called Me At 4 am...": Amit Shah Destroys Opposition's Manipur Charge

Home Minister Amit Shah's counter-attack came amid the opposition's repeated demands for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to speak on the Manipur ethnic clashes

Home Minister Amit Shah tore into the opposition today in the Lok Sabha during a discussion on the Manipur crisis, asserting that he has been working hard on bringing peace in Manipur and has been monitoring the situation closely since violence broke out in early May.

The Home Minister recalled how Prime Minister Narendra Modi dialled him at 4 am and 6.30 am on two consecutive days when reports of violence in Manipur came.

Mr Shah's counter-attack came amid the opposition's repeated demands for PM Modi to speak on the Manipur ethnic clashes between the hill-majority Kuki tribe and the valley-majority Meiteis.
