New Delhi, Oct 16: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi voiced his criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday, stating that the Prime Minister’s focus seems to be more on the Israel-Hamas conflict rather than the ongoing violence in Manipur.
Speaking in Mizoram, which is heading for elections, Rahul Gandhi remarked, “It’s amazing to me that the Prime Minister and the Government of India are so interested in what is happening in Israel but not interested at all in what is happening in Manipur.”
Rahul Gandhi also spoke on his trip to Manipur in June, saying he was astounded by what he saw. Referring to the ongoing conflict between the Meitei and Kuki communities, the Congress leader stated, “The idea of Manipur has been destroyed by the BJP. It is no longer a state, it is now two states.”
“People have been murdered, women have been molested and babies have been killed, but the Prime Minister doesn’t find it important to travel there,” he stated.
Since the first outbreak of violence between the two communities in May, he stated it was “something to be ashamed of” that PM Modi has not yet visited Manipur.
