Centre, state responsible for total breakdown of law and order in Manipur: Congress

Business To Business, Imphal, 8th May, 2026: The Indian National Congress on Friday alleged that the BJP-led governments at the Centre and in Manipur were responsible for the “total breakdown” of law and order in the state, a day after armed militants allegedly attacked and set several houses on fire in a Naga area near the India-Myanmar border.
State Congress president O Ibobi Singh questioned the role of the Assam Rifles, which functions under the Ministry of Home Affairs and is tasked with guarding the international border in Manipur, Mizoram and Nagaland.
“The Assam Rifles are stationed near yesterday’s incident site. Who is in charge of the law-and-order situation in the state? Is it the state government or the central government? They cannot turn away or escape their responsibility,” Singh said.
