Gandhi is making his first trip to the state since winning the most recent general election and being elected as a Lok Sabha MP from Raebareli, Uttar Pradesh.
During his visit, he is also expected to see Governor Anusuiya Uikey at Raj Bhavan around 6:00 p.m.
For what reason does this story matter?
Manipur has been entangled in ethnic brutality since May 2023 after an Ancestral Fortitude Walk was coordinated in the slope regions to fight the Meiteis’ interest for Booked Clan (ST) status.
The Meiteis — who make up 53% of the populace — are to a great extent restricted to the Imphal Valley.
In examination, ancestral overwhelmed slope regions supposedly cover 90% of Manipur.
Relocation from Bangladesh and Myanmar has intensified the issue in Imphal.
This has driven Meiteis to request ST status to approach tribals’ territories.
Disturbances in Parliament over Manipur struggle
The as of late closed Parliament meeting saw rehashed interruptions over Manipur.
During Top state leader Narendra Modi’s reaction to the President’s location in the Lok Sabha, resistance MPs perseveringly recited “Manipur, Manipur.”
The next day in the Rajya Sabha, the PM discussed the northeastern state, saying that “brutality in Manipur is diminishing.”
Eminently, Gandhi has visited Manipur two times previously. PM Modi has not yet visited the state — a point that has been raised by the resistance a few times to go after the PM.
Gandhi’s schedule
As per Gandhi’s timetable, he will visit alleviation camps in Jiribam, Churachandpur, and Moirang during his day-long visit.
The visit will close with a public interview at the Manipur Congress office at 6:15 pm.
“(Rahul) Gandhi has decided to visit Manipur where harmony is necessary…. We are thankful that he decided to visit the state subsequent to being picked as head of the Resistance in the Lok Sabha,” news organization PTI cited a Congress chief in Manipur as saying.
Gandhi visits flood-impacted individuals in Assam
Before Manipur, Gandhi visited flood-impacted individuals in Assam’s Lakhipur help camp.
During this visit, Assam Pradesh Congress Panel president Bhupen Borah presented a notice to Gandhi.
The reminder encouraged him to raise the issue of enduring floods in Assam in Parliament and required an exceptional bundle to address what is happening in the state.
