What is the News?
The European Parliament has adopted a resolution on Manipur violence.
What does the European Parliament resolution on Manipur violence say?
Firstly, it called on the Indian government to act “promptly” to halt the violence in Manipur and protect religious minorities.
Secondly, it also calls on authorities to grant unhindered access to the area by journalists and international observers and to end Internet shutdowns.
Thirdly, it asks the Indian government to repeal the unlawful Armed Forces Special Powers Act in line with the recommendations of the UN Universal Periodic Review.
Fourthly, it asserted that the EU should make human rights prominent in its dialogue and relationship with India.
What was India’s response to the resolution?
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has called the resolution move “unacceptable” and reflective of a “colonial mindset”.
It said that the Indian authorities at all levels including the judiciary, are monitoring the situation in Manipur and are taking steps to maintain peace and harmony and law and order.
