Manipur Home Minister Govindas Konthoujam has criticized the use of "Save Manipur" slogans during a CJP protest at Jantar Mantar, saying they were intended to provoke young people from the state. According to him, the messaging around the demonstration was not constructive and risked inflaming emotions among Manipuri youth.
The minister also accused opposition parties of encouraging unrest in connection with student protests held in New Delhi. He alleged that political forces were trying to use the issue to heighten tensions rather than help restore stability in Manipur.
Konthoujam further claimed the protests were timed and framed in a way that could disrupt the Monsoon Session of Parliament. His remarks suggest the state government sees the demonstrations as part of a wider political effort, not simply an expression of public concern.
The comments add to the ongoing political debate over Manipur, where protests, slogans and party responses continue to draw sharp reactions. With tensions still high, statements from both the government and opposition are likely to remain under close scrutiny.
