External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar said efforts are on in Manipur by the state and the central governments to bring back a sense of normalcy.
United Nations Experts Raise An Alarm On Reports Of Human Rights Violations In Manipur
“I think one part of the problem in Manipur has been the destabilising impact of migrants who have come,” Jaishankar said on September 26 at the Council on Foreign Relations in response to a question on the situation in Manipur.
“But there are also tensions which obviously have a long history which precede that. And today, I think the effort is on the part of the state government and the Union government to find a way by which a sense of normalcy returns, that arms which were seized during that period are recovered, that there is an adequate law and order enforcement out there so that incidents of violence don’t happen,” he added.
Earlier, a group of United Nations experts said they are appalled by reports and images of violence in the Northeastern state targeting women and girls. The experts urged the Indian government to take robust action to investigate the incidents and hold the perpetrators to account.
