Imphal, July 20: Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha member Sushmita Dev on Wednesday said Manipur, which is devastated by ethnic violence during the past 78 days has been completely divided in ethnic lines and the state government also visibly helpless.

The four-member parliamentary delegation immediately after their arrival in Imphal went to tribal dominated Churachanpur district and talked to the displaced people living in relief camps.

The TMC delegation met the displaced people living in relief camps in Imphal and met state governor Anusuiya Uikey and discussed the prevailing situation.

Dev said that people of all communities are annoyed with the Central and state government as the governments have totally failed to control the situation despite 60,000 Central forces deployed in the state.

“Our party supremo Mamata di (West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee) was keen to visit Manipur in June but the state home department did not respond favourably. People of Manipur were deeply upset why Prime Minister Narendra Modi has remained silent. After visiting Manipur and taking the views and opinions of the people in the crisis-ridden state we would raise the issue in the parliament,” Dev stated.

Other members of the Trinamool delegation include the party’s Rajya Sabha member Dola Sen, and Lok Sabha members Kalyan Banerjee and Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar.
