Congress leader Pawan Khera on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on Union Home Minister Amit Shah, accusing the central leadership of prioritising political campaigns over severe national security crises.The remarks come following Amit Shah’s visit to Hyderabad to spearhead ‘Loktantra Bachao, Arajakta Hatao’ march.
Reacting to the development, Khera in a post on X questioned the government’s deployment of administrative focus and criticised the decision to campaign in Telangana, addressing escalating ethnic violence in Manipur, which recently saw five Kuki men killed within a 24-hour window.
Amit Shah will be in Hyderabad today, leading a padyatra against the Congress. Ideally, one would expect the Union Home Minister to be focused on Manipur, where five Kuki men have been killed within 24 hours. The Home Minister has a responsibility to step in,” Pawan Khera wrote.
Khera further argued that if an on-ground assessment was logistically challenging, the Union leadership should have at least convened emergency reviews in the national capital rather than diverting state machinery toward political confrontation.
Highlighting the prolonged humanitarian crisis persisting in Manipur since May 2023, Khera stated, “He could visit Manipur, even if only for the sake of formality. If he is, as usual, too scared to go there, he could at least convene an urgent high-level meeting in Delhi and take stock of the situation. But for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Manipur can wait. It has been waiting since May 2023.
