He also mentioned that members from different parties who were present at the meeting gave their suggestions sensitively and apolitically.

“Before the meeting started, a detailed presentation was presented on the situation of Manipur such as what causes the violence, what measures have been taken to control it to date etc. Members of all the parties gave their suggestions positively,” Patra said.

The meeting was called by the Home Minister on Saturday to take stock of the situation in the violence-hit state. BJP national president JP Nadda, Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma and CPI(M) MP John Brittas were among other leaders present in the meeting.
