In the Rajya Sabha today three MPs belonging to INDIA parties—Tiruchi Siva of DMK, Elamaram Karim of CPM and Binoy Viswam of CPI—submitted a motion on Manipur under Rule 167 to get a meaningful discussion on the subject going in the Council of States.
The Chairman is making every effort to break the logjam. INDIA parties have even offered to sit with those deputed by the BJP to arrive at a mutually acceptable draft if need be. But the Modi Govt is obstinate—it is simply my way or the highway. Clearly, it does not want a debate. And of course, it is adamant that the PM will not speak on Manipur in the Rajya Sabha.
