Rahul Gandhi Attributes Recent Manipur Violence to Government's Divisive IdeologyPreviousNext

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticized the Modi government for its 'divisive ideology,' linking it to recent violence in Manipur's Kamjong district where militants torched around 20 houses in Kuki and Tangkhul Naga villages near the India-Myanmar border. Gandhi highlighted the deepening conflict despite President's Rule, noting thousands of deaths and shattered families.
