"As we celebrate Independence Day, let us reflect on the plight of Manipur, where true freedom remains elusive," said Gandhi.
Congress leader and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi has once again urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to visit violence-hit Manipur and emphasize the need for both Central and State governments to work towards an immediate and peaceful resolution of the ongoing crisis in the state.
On the occasion of the 78th Independence Day, Gandhi took to X and expressed concern over the escalating situation in Manipur, highlighting the urgent need for direct intervention from the highest levels of government.
He said, “As we celebrate Independence Day, let us reflect on the plight of Manipur, where true freedom remains elusive.”
“I urge the Prime Minister once again to visit Manipur and impress upon both Central and State governments to work towards a peaceful resolution at the earliest,” he added.
He mentioned that today he met and interacted with Manipuri residents in Delhi, who shared their heartbreaking experiences of being separated from loved ones.
“Today, I met with a group of Manipuri people living in Delhi who shared their heartbreaking struggles since the onset of the conflict in their region. They spoke of the pain of being separated from loved ones and the physical and mental toll the conflict has taken on their communities. Out of concern for their safety, they requested that their faces not be shown, fearing retribution. This is the harsh reality our brothers and sisters in Manipur endure—a state of constant fear,” said Rahul Gandhi.
Rahul Gandhi has been actively putting pressure on the Central Government to take decisive action to restore peace in Manipur.
He has visited the state thrice since violence broke out in the state on May 3, 2023.
The first time he visited the state was in June last year and batted for peace in the trouble-torn state and appealed every section of the society to come forward and overcome this turmoil.
The second time he visited the state was when he began his ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ from the state ahead of the Lok Sabha polls on January 14 this year.
The third time he visited the state was in July this year.
