In the midst of the ongoing turmoil surrounding the Manipur issue, the opposition parties are seemingly evading any discussion on the matter.

He highlighted that on the first day of the Parliament session, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other leaders expressed their willingness to address the concerns raised by the opposition. However, the opposition chose not to pursue a productive dialogue and instead resorted to keeping the issue alive for their political interests.
