'You are burning my state Manipur…': Congress MP Alfred Kanngam Arthur targets Modi govt in LS

Congress MP of Outer Manipur Alfred Kanngam Arthur's fiery speech in Rajya Sabha. On July 30, raising concerns of Manipur, he said, 'I have gone through the budget that the Honorable Finance Minister has placed before the August House. Manipur has the lowest per capita income and the highest inflation. How do you expect a state that is the lowest in income and paying the highest prices to survive? You already have a conflict. You've had the worst floods in the last 35 years, unprecedented floods that we have ever seen in the last 35 years… I am from the Naga community in Manipur. We have stayed neutral to this conflict in letter and in spirit. We have not taken sides with anybody thinking that by being neutral, we would one day usher in peace

A great day for India's Democracy
Finally starting to see and hear our honorable opposition in our Parliament...music to my eyes and ears
What's happening in Manipur is shameful and everything possible should be done to return back to normalcy. Just wondering, what would have happened if the state was ruled by some other party? Would the Central have done so little 🤔🤔

Forgot to mention, Alfred Kanngam gave a excellent speech and was happy to see our young polticians 👍👍
Looks like finally our main stream media is starting to feel not completely neutral and doing their job in an democracy ie holding the ruling party accountable by doing investigative journalism!!

[thokchomsurjitsingh]
