Guwahati, Aug 17: Assam Congress leader and Kaliabor MP Gaurav Gogoi on Wednesday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has mislead the people of India with his Independence Day speech.
Talking to media persons in Guwahati on Wednesday, Gaurav Gogoi said, “PM has mislead the people of India with his Independence Day speech as there cannot be peace in Manipur unless there are 6000 sophisticated weapons and 6 lakh ammunition loosely spread across as these weapons will be trained on ordinary people and ordinary jawans; there can no peace unless these weapons are returned to the treasury.”
“How can there be peace if there are no talks on reconciliation. Both the groups are unhappy with the performance of the Chief minister N. Biren Singh and it is unfortunate that the Union Home Minister has supported him,” Gogoi stated.
He further said, “Due to the presence of the chief minister in the peace committee it was not able to yield any result.”
At least 150 people have been killed since May in the ethnic violence between the Meitei and Kuki-Zo communities.
Prime minister Narendra Modi recently faced a no-confidence motion in Parliament over the Manipur violence, with the opposition accusing him of inaction.
On the other hand, Manipur chief minister in his Independence Day speech urged the people of the Kuki and Meitei communities in the state to adopt a method of “forgive and forget” to ensure that peace and normalcy returns to the state.
