Congress slams PM Modi's Manipur visit, calls trip 'tokenism' and 'grave insult' to people
PTC News Desk: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Manipur visit while calling the tirip as 'tokenism' and 'grave insult' to the people of the state.
The Congress also accused the Prime Minister of organising a grand welcome for himself and claimed that it “is a cruel prick” to the wounds of those still suffering.
“In the words of your own... Where is your Rajdharma?” Kharge asked on X ahead of Modi’s Manipur visit.
“Narendra Modi ji, your 3-hour pit stop in Manipur is not compassion—it’s farce, tokenism, and a grave insult to wounded people. Your so-called roadshow in Imphal and Churachandpur today, is nothing but a cowardly escape from hearing the cries of people in relief camps!” the Congress chief said in his post on X.

“864 days of violence:-- 300 lives lost, 67,000 displaced, 1,500 plus injured. You made 46 foreign trips since, but not a single visit to share two words of sympathy with your own citizens,” Kharge said.
“Your last visit to Manipur? January 2022 — for elections! Your ‘Double Engine’ has bulldozed the innocent lives of Manipur. You and Home Minister Amit Shah’s gross incompetence and complicity in betraying all communities was shielded from scrutiny, by imposing President’s Rule in the state. Violence still continues,” he said.
He also attacked BJP government for not manhandling the law and order situation in the state.
“Not to forget, that is your government which is responsible for National Security and border patrol. This hush-hush pit stop isn’t repentance. It’s not even guilt. You are organising a grand welcome ceremony for yourself. It is a cruel prick to the wounds of those still suffering because of your own abdication of basic constitutional responsibilities!” Kharge said.
