00:00 I don't know what is more unfortunate that our Honourable Prime Minister refuses to come to this house of which he is an elected member
00:07 to answer us on Manipur or that he refuses to go to Manipur.
00:11 The Manipur issue is mired in silence and in the government's whataboutery and false equivalences.
00:17 I will point these out as best as I can.
00:19 The Treasury Bunches have made vitriolic comments on why only Manipur.
00:24 I want to tell this house that Manipur is different and I will tell you why.
00:28 6,500 FIRs in three months.
00:31 60,000 people displaced.
00:34 150 people dead in three months.
00:36 Which state has seen this?
00:38 I quote from the Gita, "You have the right to labour only and not to the fruits of labour."
00:43 Everyone asks, "If not Modiji, then who?"
00:46 This inaction on Manipur, Honourable Prime Minister, where you had absolute power to intervene but did not,
00:53 is a cornerstone after which India will say, "Anyone but Modi."
