Ramesh, while commenting on X (formerly twitter), said: “Today, the Manipur Assembly met for the first time since March 3rd, 2023. It stood in two-minute silence in memory of those killed in the state since May 3rd.”

The Congress leader said that the CM read out a resolution and thereafter it got adjourned indefinitely, disallowing any other resolutions.

“The entire proceedings took much less than an hour. What a farce! There was simply no reason why with its huge majority the ruling party could not have had the session for a few days at the very least. The reason is simple: if the Assembly Session had functioned, the differences and fissures within the BJP would have come into full display and that too on the floor of the Assembly,” Ramesh stated.

Meanwhile, the Congress leaders led by former Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh told the media that the assembly Speaker Thokchom Satyabrata Singh has rejected their several private members’ resolutions on urgent public interest.

He said that the BJP Government has been running away from their responsibilities to restore peace and harmony in the state of Manipur.
