PM Modi speech on Manipur case

On Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi described the violence-hit Manipur as a 'piece of one's heart', and said that all efforts will be made to restore peace in the northeastern state which will soon walk the path of progress

"The north-east is our 'jigar ka tukda'. The problems of Manipur are presented in such a manner as if they had begun in the recent past," Modi said.

He assured the people of the strife-torn northeastern state that peace shall soon return as the government is doing everything possible to punish the accused.

The Prime Minister also appealed to all Opposition parties to involve in a collective effort to gain the trust of the people of Manipur and asked them not to exploit the situation in the northeastern state for political gains.

PM Modi further asked the opposition to ‘work together’ for restoring peace in Manipur and bringing normalcy there.
