Former Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh was the only leader from Manipur at the all-party meeting convened by Home Minister Amit Shah but he did not get adequate time to speak on the current situation in the State, the Congress alleged on Saturday.
Addressing a joint press conference at the All India Congress Committee (AICC) headquarters with Mr. Singh, party’s communication chief Jairam Ramesh said it wasn’t just an insult to the former Chief Minister but also to the people of Manipur.
“Ibobi Singh ji had been Chief Minister for 15 years and was the only person from Manipur. But he barely got seven-eight minutes. That is an insult not just to Ibobi Singh and the Congress party but also the people of the State. Their representative was not allowed to present his points, representing their pain and anguish,” Mr. Ramesh said.
