“Opposition MPs are running away from discussion (on Manipur). They can go to Manipur, but not to (West) Bengal and Rajasthan. They are only doing politics,” Anurag Thakur said, referring to the recent visit of the INDIA MPs to the strife-torn state.

The BJP attacked the Ashok Gehlot-led Rajasthan government and Mamata Banerjee-led government in West Bengal over the law and order situation in both states.

Last week, the INDIA MPs met Manipur Governor Anusuiya Uikey at Raj Bhavan in Imphal and submitted a memorandum, urging restoration of peace and normalcy in the Northeastern state.
