We Understand Sadness You Have Been Through: Rahul In Manipur

Mumbai: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, while addressing a gathering in Manipur during his ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’, said that he is committed to bringing back the harmony and peace that Manipur was known for.

More than 180 people have died and others have been left homeless as a result of the violence that erupted in the northeastern state in May of last year.

Gandhi also took aim at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, stating that possibly Manipur was not a part of India for the BJP and the RSS while speaking at a public assembly in Thoubal, which is south of Imphal, the capital of Manipur.

“Lakhs of people faced losses, but the prime minister has not come here to wipe your tears, hold your hand or embrace you. Maybe for Narendra Modi, the BJP, and the RSS, Manipur is not a part of India. Your pain is not their pain,” Gandhi said.

“We understand the pain that the people of Manipur have been through, we understand the hurt, the sadness. We will bring back harmony, peace, and affection for which this state was known,” he said.

The yatra will cover a distance of 6,713 km, straddling 100 Lok Sabha constituencies and 337 assembly segments and covering 110 districts. It will conclude in Mumbai on March 20 after 67 days.
