Congress criticizes PM Modi for not addressing Northeast issues, including Chinese incursions and violence in Manipur.
On a day when Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the Kaziranga National Park in Assam, the Congress attacked the Centre over the “increasingly disturbed situation” in various parts of the Northeast.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh asked why the Prime Minister had not found time to visit the violence-affected Manipur yet.

Mr Ramesh’s post came after photos of Mr. Modi taking an elephant and jeep safari inside the Kaziranga was shared on the Prime Minister’s social media platform.
“We’re glad that the Prime Minister has found time amidst his various travels to spend today morning in Kaziranga, an iconic national park, which owes much to the great interest shown both by Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi. However, beyond Kaziranga, there are four questions for him on the increasingly disturbed situation in different parts of the Northeast of India,” he said.
The Congress alleged that Chinese troops continue to deny Indian citizens access to grazing lands and Indian patrols access to strategic spots along the Line of Actual Control that previously had unimpeded access.
Mr. Ramesh mentioned that in 2022, a BJP MP from Arunachal Pradesh himself had alleged that the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) of China had abducted and tortured 19-year-old Miram Taron for 10 days.
