AAP supports Rahul Gandhi over being stopped by police in Manipur
New Delhi/IBNS: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Friday slammed the Centre over stopping Rahul Gandhi's convoy by police in Manipur, calling the act "wrong" and an indication of "total failure" of law and order in the northeastern state.
Gandhi was stopped on Thursday when he was on his way to Churachandpur to visit relief camps.
According to the police, the step was necessary as a precautionary measure to prevent the eruption of violence.
Speaking to the media, AAP national spokesperson and Delhi minister Saurabh Bhardwaj said "it was wrong to stop Rahul Gandhi in such a manner."
Rahul Gandhi later travelled to a relief camp in a helicopter and interacted with people there.
On Friday, he visited Moirang in Bishnupur district and interacted with displaced people on Friday.
He was not allowed to travel by road to Moirang, about 45 km from Imphal, and reached by a chopper.
After arrival on Thursday, the former AICC President along with former Chief Minister O Ibobi, AICC GS Organization, KC Venugopal, State Congress President K Meghachandra and others had gone to Churachandpur.
