Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar criticized the central government for its lack of response to the violence in Manipur. Speaking at a public event in Navi Mumbai, Pawar condemned Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not visiting the state to console its residents. He emphasized the government's responsibility to address the crisis, restore unity, and maintain law and order. Pawar highlighted the previously harmonious coexistence of Manipur's communities, now disrupted by conflict, bloodshed, and agricultural destruction since clashes erupted on May 3 last year.
