00:00Manipur violence 2023. Well, we are still awaiting the outcome of the Commission of Inquiry, but I
00:07mean without any outcome, without any results from the Commission of Inquiry, such persons as
00:14ministers and honourable Home Minister, Union Home Minister, have already given their statement. It
00:20seems that they have concluded what is going on in the Manipur. This is very unfortunate. Further,
00:27Sri Govindas Kondumjam have stated that two Lok Sabha seats won by Congress is because of the
00:34present crisis. This, I mean, he doesn't know what's going on in Manipur. What are the causes
00:41for the present crisis? I think he is not aware of that. Actually, the winning of the Congress
00:49in the recent MP election is because of the erroneous policy of the BJP. Because of their
00:58erroneous policies, people are suffering. That is the reason why these people have no faith in the
01:06BJP government. That's why they have chosen our MPs. They are trying their best to do,
01:14they are trying to live up to the expectations of the people also. Our MPs are doing their best.
01:19And another thing is that Congress wishes to continue the present crisis up to 2027 Assembly
01:28elections. It is a wonder of the wonders of the BJP at the centre and in the state. Because we
01:34have only five MLAs, and they have, at the centre also, they are in power, in the state also they
01:40are in power. And this remark may be termed as the biggest joke of the century. Because intelligence,
01:49whole intelligence, security forces are with them. Government machineries are also with them.
01:54Everything is with them. We are in opposition. We don't control, I mean, this intelligence,
02:01security forces, these things, all these things. Then how can we make this crisis? From the very
02:07beginning, I have also already stated earlier also, the Congress Party have, from the very
02:13beginning, we have tried our best. Our Honourable Sherpa Leader, Shri Akram Ibovisingh, on May 6,
02:202023, called on Honourable Shri Minister Biryant, around 10am in the morning, and suggested that we
02:27must meet, I mean, there should be a meeting with all leaders. I mean, the crisis has already
02:34started from May 3, 2023, and it seems to be, it may be worsened. That's what he has suggested to
02:44the Honourable Shri Minister. Anyway, Honourable Shri Minister called a meeting at 2pm and discussed
02:51the matter. And thereafter that also India, India bloc have also suggested many times to the
02:58Honourable Shri Minister to have a meeting, to arrange for a meeting with Honourable Prime
03:03Minister of India. That also, I mean, still doesn't happen. And after that also in the recent
03:09Assembly session, in August 2024, 12th Assembly session, our Shri Leader have already have spoken
03:17that, let us drop all business and concentrate and discuss only the Manipur crisis, because people
03:25are suffering a lot. But that was also denied. And after that also, on 9 August, that could be a
03:32Friday, on that day also, our opposition MLAs raised the issue in the Assembly again, to discuss
03:42the present crisis and to have an appointment with the Honourable Prime Minister of India to discuss
03:49the Manipur problem. But that was also denied. That's why a walkout was also there. They came
03:57out of the Assembly. What I want to say is that, Congress have, from day one, day two, day three,
04:04Congress have been trying our best to resolve the issue and still the Congress Party is ready to do
04:11anything to resolve the issue. We are, our leaders, our workers, our functionaries, we are all ready
04:19to do whatever we can. But this BJP government, state government is not listening. They cannot
04:27have a meeting, they cannot take an appointment with the Prime Minister, they cannot arrange to
04:33do that, a meeting with the Prime Minister also. That's why, what he is saying is, he does not
04:40know, Sri Govinda's Honourable Minister works, he doesn't know what's going on in Manipur and he
04:49doesn't know, he doesn't have any idea what Congress Party is doing. He might be concentrated
04:55in his works, that is another thing. So, it is very unfortunate.
