15-06-2023 : On Thursday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi launched a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), blaming them for sectarian violence in Manipur. Gandhi accused the BJP of promoting a politics of hatred that has resulted in the burning of the eastern state and claimed numerous lives. He called for an end to the “market of hatred” and the opening of a “shop of love” in every heart in Manipur.
In his criticism, Gandhi specifically targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of failing the country and questioning his silence on the escalating tension in Manipur. He urged the government to send an all-party delegation to Manipur in order to restore peace in the region.
Gandhi’s statement on Twitter highlighted his concerns about the situation in Manipur, where violence and unrest have persisted for over 40 days, resulting in the loss of more than a hundred lives.
