Manipur politician Ibobi accused the central and state governments of remaining passive while killings occurred in the state.
Manipur political figure Ibobi publicly charged both the Union government and the Manipur state administration with inaction, describing them as "silent spectators" to a series of killings that have shaken the region. In a statement released earlier today, Ibobi said the authorities have failed to intervene or provide adequate protection to civilians caught in the violence.
The accusation comes amid ongoing reports of lethal incidents in Manipur, which have heightened tensions across the state. While officials have not detailed the exact number of casualties, the pattern of attacks has prompted local leaders and civil society groups to demand a stronger response.
No immediate comment was received from the Centre or the Manipur government regarding Ibobi's remarks. Analysts note that such criticism could intensify pressure on the authorities to address security concerns and restore public confidence.
