Rahul Gandhi’s Appeal

Earlier, Congress MP and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to visit Manipur and listen to the people of the state. He said, “I feel that it is important that the Prime Minister should come here to listen to the people of Manipur and try to understand what is going on in Manipur after all. Manipur is a proud state of the Indian Union and it is very important that the Prime Minister especially, even if it was not a tragedy then also the Prime Minister should have come here. In this huge tragedy, I request the Prime Minister to take one day, or two days of his time and just listen to the people of Manipur. It will provide comfort to the people of the state. We as the Congress party are ready to support anything that improves the situation.”

PM Modi’s Assurance

PM Modi, during his address in the Rajya Sabha last week, reaffirmed that the central government is making efforts to normalize the situation in Manipur.
