Modi once again exhibited the odiousness of the politics he is a master of when he deigned to finally 'speak' on the Manipur violence. Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh found mention in his @9 minute monologue, but he spoke about Manipur for no more than 36 seconds. He unequivocally sent across the message to his followers to not feel guilty or recognize the violence in the North Eastern state, instead they should go for the opposition's jugular like rabid rottweilers. Just after his statement, BJP leaders and the infamous IT cell began attacking Congress and TMC and belligerently questioned them as to why they weren't speaking about violence in Rajasthan and Bengal. Anurag Thakur of "goli maaro salon ko" fame led the charge in right earnest. The police knew about the Manipur horror the day it happened, the CM too knew about it ; are we to believe that Modi or Shah were not aware ?? History is witness to the fact that fascism has a limited shelf life, and that limit has been reached. Hopefully 2024 shall herald a new dawn for India.
