Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will visit violence hit Manipur on June 29. This was announced by the Congress general secretary K C Venugopal. Rahul Gandhi will visit relief camps and interact with civil society representatives in Imphal and Churachandpur.
Manipur has been burning for almost two months. An all party meet was convened last week by Union home minister Amit Shah and a discussion was held on the situation in Manipur. Many opposition parties sought an all party delegation to visit the state but the government remained non-committal on this issue.
Amit Shah stated that the issue involved is very sensitive and that the government was taking steps to restore peace in Manipur.
So far around 120 lives have been lost and over 3,000 people have been injured in the ethnic violence that broke out in the state on May 3.
