New Delhi:Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday raised the issue of continued violence in Manipur and asked why Prime Minister Narendra Modi had not had the time to visit the state.
Participating in a discussion on the "Glorious Journey of 75 Years of the Constitution of India", the Congress chief said the prime minister had not had the time to assess the situation in Manipur for the past year and a half, since violence started in the eastern border state. "Violence and unrest is continuing in Manipur but Modi ji did not get the time for one-and-a-half years to assess the situation there," he said.
