A senior Congress leader claimed that there is no clear plan to bring peace back to the conflict‑hit state of Manipur, highlighting ongoing security concerns.
A senior leader of the Indian National Congress has publicly stated that the government lacks a concrete roadmap to restore peace in Manipur, where ethnic clashes have persisted for months. The leader’s remarks were made during a press briefing in New Delhi, where he urged the central administration to formulate a clear strategy to address the underlying grievances of the warring communities.
The statement comes amid continued reports of sporadic violence, curfews, and displacement of civilians in several districts of the northeastern state. While security forces have intensified patrols, the Congress figure warned that without a comprehensive plan, the cycle of unrest could deepen.
Opposition parties have repeatedly called for dialogue between the state and community leaders, but the Congress leader said that no substantive framework has been presented so far. He appealed to the Prime Minister’s Office to intervene and coordinate a multi‑stakeholder approach that includes civil society and local representatives.
The leader did not name any specific government official but emphasized that the lack of a roadmap reflects a broader policy vacuum on the issue. He concluded by urging the central government to act swiftly to prevent further loss of life and to restore normalcy in Manipur.
