Parliament Monsoon session: Cong to press for discussion on Manipur

And also raise the issue of the assault on the federal structure and the democratically elected govts

The Congress on Saturday said that it will raise the issue of Manipur violence in the upcoming Monsoon Session of Parliament and also raise the issue of the assault on the federal structure and democratically elected governments.

The decision was taken during the meeting of the Parliamentary Strategy Group meeting at the residence of Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP) chairperson Sonia Gandhi, which was also attended by party chief MAllikarjun Kharge and several other top leaders.

Addressing the media after the meeting, Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh said: “We had a second meeting of the Parliamentary Strategy Group for about one and half hour and a number of Bills that are likely to come up from the government side and the number of issues that the Congress and the opposition parties will raise were discussed in greater detail today.”

“Most important for us is the condition of Manipur, the continued silence of the Prime Minister (Narendra Modi) till date, continued ineffectiveness of the Union Home Minister (Amit Shah) and the complete failure of the state government and the continued divide in Manipur's society.”
