The European Parliament's move, the foreign ministry said, reflects a "colonial mindset" and was "unacceptable".
India has reiterated that Manipur in an "internal matter" after the European Parliament adopted a resolution on the human rights situation in India, with particular reference to the recent clashes in Manipur. The move, the foreign ministry said, reflects a "colonial mindset" and was "unacceptable".
The resolution comes as Prime Minister Narendra Modi began a two-day visit to France. He is the Guest of Honour at the country's Bastille Day Parade.
"We have seen that the European Parliament held a discussion on developments in Manipur and adopted a so-called Urgency Resolution. Such interference in India's internal affairs is unacceptable, and reflects a colonial mindset," foreign ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said today.
