NEW DELHI: The resolution confirming President's rule in Manipur was passed by Rajya Sabha at 4am on Friday after a heated debate between treasury and opposition members.
Union home minister Amit Shah slammed opposition for politicising an ethnic conflict and said Meitei and Kuki communities would engage in dialogue, adding that the next meeting between them would be in Delhi soon.
"We're investing our efforts to bring peace back in Manipur. Thirteen meets have happened...," Shah said. He informed RS that two meetings between communities had taken place in Manipur while the Parliament was in session.
Dismissing Congress's allegation that President's rule was imposed fearing that a no-confidence motion was to be moved against Biren govt, Shah said the CM resigned on Feb 11. Opposition MPs, including Mallikarjun Kharge and TMC's Derek O'Brien, said PM Modi didn't visit the strife-torn state and failed to put a check on violence that claimed 260 lives.Kharge said Shah could suggest PM to visit Manipur, which would help restore peace.
