· India · The Hindu, Indian Express
The Congress party accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of failing to restore peace in Manipur following the killing of four civilians in the border state. Congress President Malligarjun Kharge questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah over the prolonged ethnic conflict that has claimed more than 300 lives since May 2023. He noted that over 24,500 people remain in relief camps under difficult conditions while vulnerable families bear the brunt of the crisis. Kharge criticized the Centre's measures, asking what happened to the Peace Committee formed in June 2023 and demanding answers regarding the implementation of Supreme Court-appointed panel recommendations.
