Day after visit, Rahul says Oppn will take up Manipur in Budget session

The inaugural session of the 18th Lok Sabha witnessed uproar and disruptions by the Opposition over PM Modi's silence on the issue. Rahul's assertion comes days after his visit to the strife torn state. Sharing a video of his interactions with the people of Manipur, he also reiterated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should visit the state and appeal for peace.

"I have visited Manipur three times, but there is no improvement in the situation. Houses are burning, innocent lives are in danger and thousands of families are forced to live in relief camps," he said.
