All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary K.C. Venugopal has said that the Congress did not have the tradition of taking political advantage when a whole State is burning.
Opening the hunger strike by M.K. Raghavan, MP, demanding restoration of peace in Manipur, in Kozhikode on Friday, he said Rahul Gandhi had to visit the State since there was no action even after an appeal to the President.
“The nation will have to pay dearly if this conflict is not controlled immediately. The Prime Minister should strive for peace when a State has been facing unrest for 65 days,” he said.
