Manipur Violence | India trashes US report on alleged rights abuse dgtl

Manipur ‘human rights violation’! The US State Department claimed with the report. India accused the report as biased. Said, they did not understand this country properly.

A weekly press conference was held by the Ministry of External Affairs in New Delhi. The ministry’s spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said on Thursday, “This report is biased and reflects a misconception about India.” I don’t value it. I request the same to you.

Recently, the US State Department released ‘2023 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices: India’. It claimed that human rights were ‘violated’ in the clash between Kukis and Meiteis in Manipur. The report also said that Prime Minister Modi called the incident “shameful”. He also said to take action in this incident.

The US State Department publishes this report every year. The report also mentioned the search of the BBC’s offices in Delhi and Mumbai. The search was on on February 14. Earlier, BBC released a documentary on Prime Minister Modi. This is the step after that. The report said, “The Income Tax Department said that the BBC was being investigated for tax irregularities. But journalists were also searched and confiscated, who are not involved in the organization’s financial affairs in any way.”

The report also raised the issue of Rahul Gandhi’s dismissal as MP. He sought the post of MP because of his comments on the surname ‘Modi’. He was convicted by a court in Gujarat. Later the Supreme Court gave relief to Rahul. He also got back the MP post. The report also highlighted some positive aspects of India. In Srinagar last year, the administration allowed Shia Muslims to hold Muharram processions. That topic also came up in the report. It has been reported that this is the first time the government has allowed Shias to hold processions after the ban in 1989. But prohibits the use of slogans or symbols of any banned organization.
