Civil society organisations in Manipur who met Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on January 15, during the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, have urged the party to put forth their demand in the upcoming Budget session of Parliament that Prime Minister Narendra Modi visit violence-hit Manipur before the Lok Sabha polls.
The second day of the yatra started from Sekmai in Imphal West and had its night halt in Khuzama in Nagaland on the Manipur-Nagaland border after passing through Kangpokpi, that witnessed ethnic violence between the Kuki tribes and the Meitei community.
Addressing a press conference at Senapati along with party spokesperson Kanhaiyya Kumar, Congress general secretary (communication) Jairam Ramesh said various organisations said that Manipur needs “sensitive, transparent, accountable and strong” governance.
