Press Statement

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:

 

Grave Situation in Manipur

 

A grave situation has developed in Manipur with the intensification of
violence due to killings and counter killings on ethnic lines.  20 people
have been killed in various incidents since November 7.  The discovery of
five bodies of women and children, who were abducted earlier in a horrific
incident, has inflamed the situation in the Valley.  

 

Right from the beginning, it was Chief Minister Biren Singh who was
responsible for the deteriorating situation, yet the Central government and
the BJP, as the ruling party, refused to remove him and allowed him to
continue.  A situation has now arisen where the writ of the state government
and the administration does not run.  

 

It is time for the Central government to strongly intervene to immediately
put an end  to the violence. It has also to begin the serious work for a
political settlement which restore peace and  safeguard the rights of all
ethnic communities in the state.
