Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on M♉onday alleged that the Narendra Modi government was "indifferent" to the pain and anguish of 🐈the people of violence-hit Manipur.

The Congress chief said MPs of opposition alliance INDIA who visited Manipur to assess the situation in the strife-torn state, heard heart-wren♈ching stories of pain from the people there.

"While Manipur faced turmoil, the Modi government appeared indifferent," he said on Twitter while asserting that the div🥂ide between communities was "deeply concerning". "Despite time for poll rallies, self-PR train inaugurations, and attending BJP meetings, PM Modi seems to have no time to address the anguish and suffering of Manipur's people or work towards resolving inter-community issues," Kharde tweeted.    He also said, &quo💝t;The Modi government appears clueless and rudderless in handling the Manipur situation, evident in the absence of a comprehensive statement in Parliament."

Over 50,000 people, including 10,000 child🦩ren, are in relief camps. The facilities there are inadequate, especially for women, and there are shortages of medicines and food, Kharge said. "Economic activities have come to a halt, with children unable to attend school, farmers ceasing their farming, and people grappling with both financial losses and psychological hardships," Kharge said on Twitter.

A delegation of 21 MPs of the INDIA alliance v🐟isited Manipur over the weekend and met many people in relief camps set up for those affected by violence in the state.
