Manipur’s Congress president Keisham Meghachandra Singh on Monday said the party will raise the Manipur issue in the Parliament.

New Delhi [India], June 25 (HBTV): After a meeting with Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge and party Member of Parliament Rahul Gandhi, Manipur’s Congress president Keisham Meghachandra Singh on Monday said the party will raise the Manipur issue in the Parliament. 

‘We had a discussion over the Manipur issues and raising it in the Parliament. There have been many incidents that took place in Manipur that were discussed in the meeting,’ Singh told ANI. 

The Congress on Monday met the party leaders of Manipur and discussed ways to alleviate their difficulties. 

Earlier, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday criticized the central government over the Manipur issue. 

"This time, Manipur voted for compassion, peace and harmony. PM Modi's abject apathy towards the people of Manipur was resoundingly rejected. BJP's state government is complicit in failing to prevent violence, even as tens of thousands of people still suffer the unending circle of turmoil," Kharge posted on X.  

On June 17, Union Home Minister Amit Shah reviewed the security situation in Manipur during a high-level meeting here in the national capital and directed to ensure that "no further incident of violence takes place" in the northeastern state.  

In the one-hour-long meeting at his North Block office, the Home Minister stressed on strategic deployment of central forces to restore peace in Manipur.
