Soren: Why is PM, HM shying away from visiting Manipur?
Dumka/Bokaro: Addressing multiple rallies on the penultimate day of the silence period ahead of the November 20 polling, chief minister Hemant Soren on Sunday questioned why Prime Minister Narendra Modi could not muster up the courage to visit strife-torn Manipur, where fresh violence has erupted in the last few days.
Questioning their silence and the reason for not visiting Manipur after the fresh spree of violence, Hemant said Modi and Union home minister Amit Shah, on the contrary, have parachuted scores of saffron party leaders from other states in Jharkhand to “polarise people through its divisive politics”.
Addressing a rally at Jamua (Giridih), Hemant said, “Manipur is burning again but the PM and the home minister have not gone there till date. Atrocities are being committed against tribal women in states like Manipur, which is not hidden from anyone. But BJP only knows how to do politics of dividing society, not of uniting it.”
He added that they (INDIA bloc) will neither break nor divide people but will continue to fight tooth and nail against such “divisive forces”. “We have taken Jharkhand after a long struggle and fight. We know how to reclaim our rights, too,” he stressed.
