Congress asks PM Narendra Modi to break 'silence' on Manipur

New Delhi: The Congress on Monday asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to break his “silence” on the situation in Manipur and send a message of goodwill besides allowing an all-party delegation to visit the violence-hit state to help restore peace.

The party also urged the prime minister to visit the northeastern state to listen to the “agony of the people there”.

The Congress



demanded that if Modi is unable to visit the border state, President Droupadi Murmu should make efforts to help bring peace and normalcy in Manipur.

“The Congress party demands that the prime minister should break his silence and visit Manipur at the earliest to make all efforts to restore trust in the administration and bring normalcy in the state,” Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh told reporters.
