Why has Congress demanded Home Minister Amit Shah's resignation over Manipur crisis

Analyze the reasons behind the call for resignation of Home Minister Amit Shah by the Congress party in light of the Manipur crisis.
  • Allegations of mishandling the Manipur crisis: Congress has accused Amit Shah of mishandling the recent political turmoil in Manipur, where the BJP-led government collapsed following a series of resignations.
  • Constitutional breakdown: Congress claims that Amit Shah failed to uphold the principles of the Constitution and allowed the situation to escalate to a point where state stability was compromised.
  • Lack of accountability: The opposition party argues that as the Home Minister, Shah bears responsibility for the crisis and should take accountability for the government's failure to maintain law and order in Manipur.
  • Political opportunism: Congress sees this as an opportunity to challenge BJP’s leadership and credibility by demanding the resignation of a senior member of the government.
