Congress leaders discuss ways to alleviate pain of people in Manipur

New Delhi: The Congress held a meeting with leaders of the party's Manipur unit on Monday to discuss ways to alleviate the pain of the people in the ethnic strife-torn northeastern state.

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, former party chief Rahul Gandhi and AICC general secretary K C Venugopal took part in the meeting.

In a post on X, Kharge said: "This time Manipur voted for compassion, peace and harmony. PM Modi's abject apathy towards the people of Manipur was resoundingly rejected. BJP state govt is complicit in failing to prevent violence, even as tens of thousands of people still suffer the unending circle of turmoil."

"We met @INCManipur leaders and discussed ways to alleviate their pain," he added.
