I accept that 260 people died – Amit Shah

Amit Shah said, “In accordance with the decision of the Supreme Court, I have brought a constitutional resolution in this regard for the approval of the House within two months.” Shah said that the first concern of the government is to establish peace in Manipur and there has not been a single death there in the last four months and only two people have been injured. He said that he accepts that 260 people died in ethnic violence in Manipur but he wants to tell the House that more people died in election violence in West Bengal.

Amit Shah told the reason for the deteriorating atmosphere

The Home Minister said that a court decision was the main reason behind the deterioration of the situation in Manipur in which reservation was given to one caste. He said that this court decision was stayed by the Supreme Court the very next day. He said that the government wants that there should be peace in Manipur soon, rehabilitation should take place and people’s wounds should be healed. The Home Minister appealed to the opposition parties not to do politics on the issue of Manipur.
