New Delhi, August 12, 2023 (PPI-OT):Congress leader, Rahul Gandhi, has criticized the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, for laughing and cracking jokes in the Parliament when the Manipur state has been “on fire” for the past four months. Rahul Gandhi addressing a press conference in New Delhi said, the Prime Minister “wants Manipur to burn and allows it to burn”. He asserted that if the Modi regime wanted to stop the violence, there are tools in the hands of the government that can stop it immediately.

The Congress leader said when women and children are dying in Manipur, women are being molested and raped, the Prime Minister of India is sitting in the middle of Parliament, laughing and cracking jokes. “This is not about Rahul Gandhi, it is not about the Congress, it is not about opposition, it is about India, and it is about our country. A state has been decimated, it does not exist anymore and it has happened because of the politics of the BJP – divide and rule and burn,” he said.

Rahul Gandhi’s remarks came a day after Modi slammed the opposition in his over two-hour reply to the motion of no-confidence against his government in Lok Sabha, the lower house of Parliament. The Congress leader said his remarks that Modi and Amit Shah had “murdered Bharat Mata in Manipur” were not hollow words as he had for the first time in his 19 years in politics been told in a state that if he takes a person from one community in his security detail to the area of another community, they will shoot that security personnel.
