In a series of tweets, Ramesh said, “Today evening I met with the Manipur Tribals’ Forum, Delhi who poured out their pain and anguish at the state of the affairs in Manipur over the past 55 days. I shared our solidarity with them and assured them of all possible support from the Congress party to ensure return of peace and normalcy in Manipur”.
He also said that “the group presented a memorandum to me, which I am sharing here”.
“Besides the points made in it, they stressed that the incumbent CM N Biren Singh should be removed immediately for any progress to happen towards dialogue and reconciliation. They also provided a detailed day-to-day account of what has happened in Manipur since the Union Home Minister made the appeal for 15 days of peace,” the Congress leader added.
The Congress has been demanding the immediate removal of the Manipur Chief MInister for miserably failing in controlling the situation in the northeastern state, which has been witnessing violence since May 3. Over 100 people have died and thousands have been forced to take refuge in the relief camps in the state following the violent clashes in Manipur.
The Congress has also been questioning the silence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the violence in Manipur.
