INDIA bloc leaders who are now in Manipur have expressed their sadness after seeing the conditions in which people are living in government-allocated relief camps.




Chowdhury said that the visiting MPs will present their observations on Manipur in Parliament.

 

"We have requested a discussion on Manipur in Parliament as the situation is deteriorating every day," he said.

 

Notably, the viral video from Manipur — where two women were purportedly seen being paraded naked — triggered a war of words between the Centre and Opposition, resulting in repeated disruptions and adjournments in Parliament.

 

"People are staying in one hall," says Congress MP Phulodevi Netam, who is part of an I.N.D.I.A. team visiting Manipur. The state government solely provides them with daal-chawal; the youngsters do not get anything else to eat during the day. There are no toilets or bathrooms. The conditions in which individuals are living in camps are heartbreaking..."

They also questioned, as reported by Indian Express, why there was a need to maintain relief camps for over three months if the government's assertion that the state was quiet is accurate.

On Saturday, a 21-member opposition team landed in Manipur to inspect the ground situation and meet with victims of the state's three-month ethnic rioting. They met with Manipur Governor Anusuiya Uikey at Raj Bhavan on Sunday and issued a paper detailing their views.
