Imphal, July 12: Member of Parliament Bimol Akoijam on Sunday alleged that the recent violence at Kanto Sabal has exposed the continuing failure of both the state and central governments in handling the Manipur crisis, describing it as a continuation of the conflict that began on May 3, 2023.

Addressing a press conference, MP Bimol said the alleged inaction and lack of coordination among the deployed central security forces have raised serious concerns over the government's response to recurring incidents of violence.

He also criticised what he described as the incompetence of the Indian Army in managing the conflict, alleging that its repeated inability to prevent or contain fresh outbreaks of violence reflects a continuing failure to effectively curb conflicts as they arise in Manipur.

Referring to the Kanto Sabal incident, he said the situation is an "exact replica" of the events witnessed since May 3, 2023, pointing to what he termed as non-coordination among the deployed central forces and delayed intervention.

MP Bimol further asserted that the crisis should not be viewed solely through the lens of a Meitei-Kuki conflict. Instead, he urged the public and policymakers to understand the broader dimensions of the crisis, arguing that reducing it to an ethnic conflict overlooks deeper issues of governance, security, and conflict management.

He called for greater accountability and a more effective strategy to prevent further escalation of violence in the state.
