Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday, demanding that he take immediate action after a CRPF jawan was killed in a militant ambush in Manipur.
The attack, which occurred on Sunday, has sparked outrage and raised questions about the government’s handling of the security situation in the northeastern state.
“When will the government and PM Modi wake up?” Priyanka Gandhi tweeted, criticizing the ruling dispensation for its “silence” over the incident.
The Congress leader’s scathing attack comes as the PM Modi-led government faces heat over the deteriorating law and order situation in Manipur, which has seen a spate of violent incidents in recent weeks.
The latest attack has brought to the forefront the challenges faced by security forces in the region, and the need for the government to take decisive action to restore peace and stability in Manipur.
The incident has also sparked a political slugfest, with the opposition accusing the ruling BJP of failing to address the concerns of the security forces and the people of Manipur.
The government is yet to respond to Priyanka Gandhi’s criticism, but sources indicate that a high-level meeting is likely to be convened to discuss the situation in Manipur and potential measures to address the security concerns in the region.
