Imphal, June 21: The Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) has been under tremendous pressure from the opposition parties and several other groups due to the on-going ethnic violence in the state of Manipur since May 3.
Recently, Union home minister Amit Shah visited violence hit Manipur and assured that peace will be soon return in the state.
The Centre and State has been taking all slew of measures to return back peace in the hills and valley of Manipur.
Sources said that situation was “unpredictable” and that “anything can erupt any time.
“Efforts are on via various channels. The Centre has adopted multiple strategies and, at least in some areas, things are improving a little,” the sources added.
“No one wants to hear any sensible voices or to talk about peace. Anyone talking to the government or mediators is seen as a traitor by their community. The situation has become worst in the state.
Meanwhile, civil societies groups and people of Manipur are seeking PM Narendra Modi’s intervention to stop the ongoing violence.
On the other hand, Sambit Patra, the party’s coordinator for Northeast states, has been meeting leaders from various organisations and small groups in a bid to restore the confidence of the people in BJP leaders and the Central government.
Patra was with Meitei MLAs during their recent meetings with Central ministers in Delhi.
There is also a section in the party which believes that Biren Singh did not get the required support or advice from the Centre or the party as the situation blew up.
“Earlier, when there was violence or incidents between the Meiteis and Kukis, the political leadership and senior officials would stop the issue from getting out of control. This time, there have been no such interventions,” a source said.
On the other option, of imposing President’s rule in the state – a demand backed by BJP allies National People’s Party and Mizo National Front.
“The situation is being monitored by the security advisor (Kuldiep Singh), the strategising is being done by the Centre… the state government, in effect, is doing little,” a BJP source said.
