Congress leader KC Venugopal said that we were surprised to know why Rahul Gandhi was stopped from the visit. People were waiting on both sides of the road and waiting to waive for Rahul Gandhi, but he was stopped and sent back. Congress leaders take a dig at BJP for blocking the way to Rahul Gandhi. Congress party president Mallikarjun Kharge wrote on Twitter, “ using autocratic methods to stall a compassionate outreach”. He also tweeted, “This is totally unacceptable and shatters all constitutional and democratic norms. Manipur needs peace, not confrontation”.

He is going there to meet the people suffering in relief camps and to provide a healing touch in the strife-torn state.
PM Modi has not bothered to break his silence on Manipur. He has left…
Besides this, Congress leaders have appealed to the people of Manipur to maintain peace, and calm and extend cooperation during the party leader's visit to the state, Rahul Gandhi's visit was scheduled for 29 and 30 June, but now everything changed.
