Rahul Gandhi Visits Manipur to Support Violence Victims

Congress MP Manickam Tagore criticized the Manipur government for not governing the state properly and emphasized that Rahul Gandhi stands with people who are in pain. On Monday, Rahul Gandhi, Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, visited Imphal to meet victims of violence at relief camps.

Tagore stated, “Manipur has been in pain for the past few months. The people of Manipur have spoken and two MPs of the Congress party have been elected. The state government ruled by the BJP is not governing the state properly. Rahul Gandhi stands with people who are in pain.”

Rahul Gandhi is scheduled to meet Governor Anusuiya Uikey at 5.30 pm and will address a press conference at the Manipur Congress office at 6.15 pm. He also visited the Jiribam Higher Secondary School relief camp to offer support to the victims of violence.

The Congress party posted on X, “LoP Rahul Gandhi visits Jiribam Higher Secondary School relief camp, meets victims of violence and offers support in their darkest hour. His third visit to Manipur post-violence shows his unwavering commitment to the people’s cause.”

Rahul Gandhi will also visit the relief camp at Sadbhavna Mandap in Tuibong, Churachandpur district. Manipur has been witnessing ethnic violence since May 3 last year following clashes during a rally organized by the All Tribals Students Union to protest against the demand for the inclusion of the Meitei community in the Scheduled Tribe category.
