“This is the FIR filed by Manipur Police against Assam Rifles. The accompanying shrill rhetoric from the Manipur CM and those who surround him makes it clear that there’s growing mistrust between the BJP government in the State and the BJP government in the Centre? “Is this not breakdown of Constitutional machinery? Is this the double engine governance that Manipur voted for,” Ramesh said on Twitter.
“When will the Prime Minister act,” he said in the post, which carried the details of the FIR filed against Assam Rifles.
Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi also said, “Manipur Chief Minister Biren Singh is making serious charges against the Assam Rifles which is directly under Union Home Minister Amit Shah.” “The failure to control Manipur is being increasingly put on the shoulders of Home Ministry. Will PM Modi act or put party over nation,” Gogoi asked.
