Ready To Discuss Manipur Issue In Parliament, Home Minister Amit Shah Will Respond: Govt
The Centre has said that it is ready to discuss the Manipur situation in Parliament and that Union Home Minister will respond on the matter.
Centre on Friday said that the government is ready to have a discussion on the Manipur issue and Union Home Minister Amit Shah will respond in the House when the discussion takes place. Union Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Arjun Ram Meghwal meanwhile appealed to the opposition to not change their stand repeatedly and asked them to not indulge in 'politics' over the 'sensitive' matter
"I would like to make an appeal to the opposition to not change their stand repeatedly and not indulge into politics as it is a very sensitive matter related to women's dignity, north-east and border state...I think the parliament session should run as we're ready to address and discuss the issue," the minister said.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi said, "We are ready to discuss whenever the Speaker directs. Union Home Minister Amit Shah has officially told the Speaker and the Chairman that we are ready for a discussion. For the opposition to bring in new demands and interrupt the discussion is wrong. There are important bills and BJP under the leadership of PM Modi wants to hold extensive discussions in the parliament...The opposition just tries to build a wrong narrative and disrupt the parliament proceedings."

According to sources, Amit Shah himself has given consent to the Lok Sabha Speaker to discuss Manipur even before the commencement of the Parliament session. On July 15, the Ministry of Home Affairs gave a consent letter to the Speaker's Office to participate in the discussion on this issue mentioning that the Home Ministry is ready to participate in the discussion and to respond to it.
Notably, any debate on the issue of caste violence in Manipur comes under the purview of the Ministry of Home Affairs. The ruling dispensation, however, called the opposition's demand of answers from PM Narendra Modi instead of the Home Minister 'politically motivated'.
