Cong takes a swipe at Modi over Manipur situation

New Delhi, July 6 (Agency) Congress on Thursday took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over Manipur situation saying the latter behaviour towards the Northeastern state is “bizarre”. “Meanwhile the Prime Minister is visiting Chhattisgarh and UP tomorrow. Day after he will be in Telangana and Rajasthan. More photo-ops. More distorted facts. More insults aimed at the Opposition.

More self-glorification. But not a word on Manipur even after 66 days. Not an iota of expression of pain, grief and anguish,” said Congress general secretary in-charge Communications Jairam Ramesh in a tweet, attacking the PM. He added, “No appeal for peace, harmony and reconciliation. His behaviour on Manipur is shockingly bizarre.” The Congress has been questioning the silence of the PM over the Manipur situation. The party blamed the BJP-led government for the current crisis in Manipur.
