Congress Criticizes PM Modi for Ignoring Manipur in Lok Sabha Address

The Congress has criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not allowing a Manipur MP to speak in Lok Sabha before his address. They accused Modi of ignoring the violence in Manipur and prioritising jokes over serious discussions. The issue has left many in the northeast feeling marginalized and unheard.

The Congress on Wednesday launched a scathing critique of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of avoiding an urgent plea to allow a Manipur MP to speak ahead of his address in Lok Sabha. The party claimed that instead of addressing the pressing issue of violence in Manipur, the PM chose to recycle old allegations, make jokes, and take jibes, without showing the patience to listen to the voice of the aggrieved state.

The Congress accused the prime minister of deliberately ignoring the dire situation in Manipur. Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi expressed deep disappointment, stating that the Congress and Rahul Gandhi had called for both MPs from Manipur to be heard during the debate on the Motion of Thanks to the President's Address.

As the prime minister spoke for nearly 135 minutes, opposition members continuously raised slogans about the situation in Manipur. The Congress asserted that ignoring the voices from Manipur sends a wrong message to the people of the northeastern state, stressing the urgent need for the prime minister to show empathy and sensitivity towards the affected communities.
