We are aware of what is happening in European Parliament. And we have made a reach out to the concerned EU parliamentarians, but we have made it very clear, this is a matter totally and absolutely internal to India."The statement of MEA comes after the European Parliament adopted a resolution on the situation in Manipur calling on all sides to exercise restraint, and urging political leaders to "cease inflammatory statements." It urged authorities to allow an independent probe into the violence.
