Congress meets President seeks inquiry into Manipur strife

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday led an eight member delegation to meet President Droupadi Murmu and sought her intervention to restore peace in violence-hit Manipur.

In a memorandum submitted to the President, the principal Opposition party called for the constitution of a high-level inquiry commission headed by a serving or retired Supreme Court judge to probe the violence and put forward a 12-point charter of demands to help restore normlacy in the State.

The delegation included former Chief Minister Ibobi Singh, Congress leader Mukul Wasnik, former Deputy Chief Minister Gaikhangam and Pradesh Congress Committee president Keisham Meghachandra Singh, besides AICC in-charge for Manipur Bhakt Charan Das.
