Rahul Gandhi to visit violence-hit Manipur
New Delhi/IBNS: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will be on a two-day visit to violence-hit Manipur starting June 29, a senior party leader said on Tuesday.
The former Congress president will visit relief camps and interact with civil society representatives in Imphal and Churachandpur, KC Venugopal said in a tweet.
"Manipur has been burning for nearly two months and desperately needs a healing touch so that society can move from conflict to peace," Venugopal said in a veiled attack on the ruling BJP.
"This is a humanitarian tragedy and it is our responsibility to be a force of love, not hate," he said.
The Congress has been blaming the BJP-led government for the current crisis in Manipur and demanded the dismissal of Chief Minister N Biren Singh.
