Later, the Congress party alleged that Rahul Gandhi was stopped by the state police from visiting Bishnupur district.
“It is most unfortunate that the Modi government is preventing Rahul Gandhi from visiting relief camps and interact with the people outside Imphal,” senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said.
“His 2-day visit to Manipur is in the spirit of the Bharat Jodo Yatra. The Prime Minister may choose to remain silent or be inactive but why stop Rahul Gandhi’s efforts to listen to all sections of the Manipuri society and provide a healing touch?” Ramwah said.
