Senior Member of Parliament from the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC), Derek O'Brien has written to the chairman of the Standing Committee for Home Affairs demanding a discussion urgently on the situation of violence in Manipur, reported news agency ANI.

A copy of the letter by the AITC leader to the parliamentary panel chairman Brijlal, a BJP MP reads, "The recent incidents of violence in Manipur have raised concerns about the safety and wellbeing of the people residing in the region. Reportedly, many are dead and thousands have been displaced. Shoot-at-sight orders have further added to the atmosphere of fear in the State. It is imperative that we understand the ground reality, and assess the extent of the violence. In this regard, holding a standing committee meeting to discuss the ongoing violence in Manipur would provide first-hand insights into the situation."
