Government's Attitude Towards Manipur:

Despite so many clashes between the government and the opposition nobody knows the reason of silence of the PM and governing machinery. Since being a matter of the failure of constitutional machinery,the rule of the President (article 356) must have been imposed there but the state engine is still running there. Once asked by the opposition in the Lok Sabha to implement the presidential rule in Manipur, home minister Amit Shah aggressively refused for that citing the provisions of article 365 of the constitution. But Looking at the scenario,it is complying with the reason mentioned in Article 356 of the constitution. In the mid of these incidents, it is also heard that they are willing to replace state forces in place of the Army.
