Rahul Gandhi visits relief camps in Manipur
According to the state Congress president, thousands of people turned out to greet Gandhi, with many of them shedding tears while speaking with him.
GUWAHATI: Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, who on Monday visited Manipur and met displaced people of warring Meitei and Kuki communities at relief camps, urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to visit the state and try to understand the situation there.
“It is important that the PM comes to Manipur, listens to the people, try and understand what is going on here. After all, Manipur is a proud state of the Indian Union,” he told the media in Imphal.
“…I request him to take one or two days of his time and just come and listen to the people. It will comfort them. They all want him to come. Perhaps, the entire country wants him to visit Manipur,” he added.
Gandhi, who is accompanied by senior Congress leaders, is visiting Manipur for the first time after the Congress won both the Lok Sabha seats in the state.
