Modi running away from discussion on Manipur, says Kharge

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of running away from discussion on the violence in Manipur. He said that instead of working to ensure peace in violence-hit Manipur, Modi is comparing the situation with peaceful Chhattisgarh. “Comparing the violence in Manipur with Chhattisgarh is an insult to the people of Chhattisgarh,” Kharge said while addressing a poll rally in Janjgir-Chamapa district of Chhattisgarh on Sunday. The Congress president asked has any incident like Manipur taken place in Chhattisgarh. “Women are being raped, their houses are burnt and they have nothing to eat. Who created such a situation in Manipur? The Prime Minister did,” he said.
