New Delhi: On Friday, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge demanded that the prime minister make a lengthy statement in Parliament regarding the situation in Manipur. Kharge argued that Modi should have fired the state's chief minister instead of drawing "false equivalence" between Manipur and states governed by the Congress party.
The Congress has requested that Prime Minister Narendra Modi address Parliament on the current situation in Manipur.
