Manipur Congress MP, A Bimol Akoijam, today questioned, ‘Why the government of India was allowing Manipur to become like Afghanistan, which he described as a “banana republic”.
He said such a situation would not have been left unaddressed if it happened in States such as Uttar Pradesh and Bihar and Rajasthan.
“With 60,000 troops stationed in Manipur, the central government should have prevented this crisis from continuing for so long,” Akoijam said.
