New Delhi: After European Parliament discussed violence in Manipur, India on Thursday said any interference in the country’s internal matters is ‘ unacceptable and reflects colonial mindset’

External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi in response to queries on European Parliament discussing developments in ethnic strife-battered Manipur said: "We have seen that the European Parliament held a discussion on developments in Manipur and adopted a so-called Urgency Resolution. Such interference in Indias internal affairs is unacceptable and reflects a colonial mindset."

He added that Indian authorities at all levels including the judiciary are seized of the situation in Manipur and are taking steps to maintain peace and harmony and law and order.

"The European Parliament would be well advised to utilise its time more productively on its internal issues', Bagchi added.

Earlier on Thursday the European Parliament in the French city of Strasbourg called on the Indian government to act "promptly" to stop violence in Manipur and protect religious minorities. It passed a resolution on the matter by show of hands after a debate on the issue.

In the last two months more than 140 persons have been killed and thousands displaced in ethnic violence between majority Meitei community and Kuki Christians in Manipur.
