When the Prime Minister Narendra Modi could find time to visit many countries and even travel to various States in India over the last 150 days, why has he not gone to Manipur even once, where the situation was pathetic, asked senior Congress leader P. Chidambaram.
Speaking at a public meeting in Rameswaram on Saturday night, organised by the District Congress Committee (fishermen wing) to celebrate the completion of the first year of the 4,000-km walk of former party president Rahul Gandhi from Kanniyakumari to Kashmir, he said it was very unfortunate that the Manipur situation had not been brought under control.
People were suffering as normal life was affected. Around 60,000 people lived like refugees in their own land and over 600 people were killed in the riots. Many women were harassed and raped. The police (Assam Rifle and Manipur Police) were fighting among each other. There was absolute lawlessness, he charged.
