I absolutely oppose the Catholic church, however in this matter I support them.
I also want to point out that they have done what India's Modi-led central government should have been doing. Not only is the Modi goverment not conducting its own fact-finding mission, it is also preventing a parliamentary task force of all pol. parties from conducting it. Any report from a joint parliamentary commission will be unbiased and will be credible in legal eyes as well.
Since the start of the ethnic & communal genocide in Manipur has been welcomed and feted and dined in 4 countries, 2 Western democracies and 2 from the Middle-East. While the conflict was raging, POTUS honored him with dinner at the White House and France's President Macron went a step ahead. He made Modi guest of honour at the Bastille day celebrations and awarded him the Grand Croix de Legion del'honneur. He did this when EU Parliament raged against the Manipur genocide. and India responded saying the genocide was an 'internal matter'. "Liberty, Equality and Fraternity" went into the same rubbish heap that the world's largest democracy is in. The honour should be revoked if France has any morality.
ETA: Today is the 84th continous day of the ethnic & communal genocide in Manipur, India. And the govt that said it is an 'internal matter' to the EU Parl.is not willing to send a joint parliamentary fact-finding mission nor is the PM willing to address Parliament on it.
The Indian Prime Minister won't even discuss a genocide being carried out in India inside India's Parliament! And this is the man the developed democratic world honours.
