NEW DELHI: Even as senior Congress leaders have been demanding some comments from Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the ongoing violence in Manipur since May 3, party MP Shashi Tharoor on Sunday spoke in favour of lifting the ban on internet in the strife-torn northeastern state.
In a tweet, Tharoor, a Lok Sabha MP from Thiruvananthapuram, talked about the Supreme Court hearing on Monday the government’s appeal against a Manipur high court order, relaxing the “draconian” ban on the internet that has “crippled” digital life in the state for the last three months.
