‘For peace, find 6,000 looted arms in Manipur’

Both Meiteis and Kukis are unhappy with the performance of Chief Minister N Biren Singh, he added

There can be no peace in Manipur until 6,000 sophisticated arms and 6 lakh rounds of ammunition, which were looted from the security forces, are recovered, deputy leader of the Congress in Lok Sabha Gaurav Gogoi said on Wednesday.

The looted arms and ammunition will be used against the common people of the state that has been witnessing violence since May 3, Gogoi said in an interaction with journalists here. “So, how can there be peace and normalcy when there is no talk on reconciliation between the two sides?” he asked.

Both Meiteis and Kukis are unhappy with the performance of Chief Minister N Biren Singh, he added.

“It is unfortunate that Union Home Minister Amit Shah completely supported the chief minister in Parliament,” Gogoi said, adding that the CM’s presence in the peace committees has led to the failure of peace talks.
