EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT, Jul. 13, 2023
From our Overseas Bureau
Situation of Manipur will be the subject of an urgent debate in the European Parliament. The discussion on the motion scheduled for today is set to take place on July 13, 2023 for a vote.
This development follows the introduction of a resolution motion by six parliamentary groups in the E.U. Parliament. The groups encompass a wide range of political affiliations, including Left, European Socialists, Greens, regional parties, Conservatives and centre-right political and Christian groups.
The motion strongly condemned the ongoing violence in Manipur and criticized the nationalist rhetoric employed by prominent members of the Bhartiya Janta Party.
The European Parliament called upon the Indian Government and local authorities to permit unrestricted humanitarian aid to reach those affected by the situation. It also stressed the need for independent monitors to conduct investigations.
