IMPHAL: The Indian state of Manipur is in the grip of violence and chaos as protests intensify against the Modi government’s crackdown on poor people.
The situation is so tense that the entire state seems to have gone up in flames. However, Indian media seems to be a silent spectator this time too.
The protests began after the Modi government’s brutal actions against poor people in the state. The government’s use of force has been criticized for being excessive, and several people have been burned alive. The sound of terror and the use of various weapons have added to the tension in the area.
As a result of the protests, a curfew has been imposed in Manipur’s Chorachandpur area. The use of fire has encircled the region, with a number of churches and houses being set on fire in the state capital, Imphal.
Indian government suspends internet services in Manipur
Furthermore, to prevent the spread of unrest, the government has suspended internet services in the region, adding to the fears of the people.
Critics say that Modi is using his crackdown on local farmers as a shield to punish Christians, and that the situation in Manipur is an example of this. Modi’s dramatic presence at the G-20 summit has also been criticized, as he has failed to protect minorities in India.
The situation in Manipur seems to be out of control, with protests intensifying and the government cracking down on poor people. It remains to be seen how the Modi government will respond to this crisis, and whether peace can be restored to the troubled region.
