Why the Home Minister's silence on the Manipur report is indefensible


Posted
Jul 02, 2026

It has now been six weeks since the parliamentary committee tabled its 142-page report on Manipur, and the Home Minister has not addressed a single one of its findings in public. That silence is, in this writer's view, indefensible.

The committee found — and the report is published in full on the Lok Sabha website — that intelligence inputs from January 2024 onwards specifically named the convoy that came under attack on May 3. The report alleges that those inputs were ignored at the Ministry level.

To be clear: the report is the official record. It is not a leak, it is not speculation, and the Minister's office has not issued a single public correction in the eight weeks since it was tabled. There is no public-interest justification for continued silence.

We approached the Ministry's spokesperson for comment three times last week. The Ministry did not respond by the time of publication. We will update this article if a response is received.
