Who will answer
for Manipur?
Phase 1. Let it burn.
A Chief Minister who could not protect his state, and would not leave his chair.
Phase 2. Look away.
Delhi took charge, then treated Manipur as an afterthought.
Phase 3. Let it spread.
New areas, new deaths, and tear gas on grieving families.
Three phases
of failure.One party. Three governments. Three and a half years of fire. No one held to account.
Since 3 May 2023
Three and a half years of fire. No one held to account.
Burning for 3+ years across three BJP-led governments, Manipur worsened under each. Biren Singh failed to protect the state, PM Modi ignored it from Delhi, and Khemchand allowed violence to spread.
Behind every number is a family that lost a home, a son, a mother or a village.
