Rahul Gandhi Targets Amit Shah, Then A Lesson On "Manipuri Tradition"

Mr Singh was responding to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's remarks about a Manipuri delegation being asked to remove their shoes before entering Union Minister Amit Shah's house.

Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh on Thursday said that it was a tradition in Manipuri culture to remove shoes while entering someone's home.

Mr Singh was responding to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's remarks about a Manipuri delegation being asked to remove their shoes before entering Union Minister Amit Shah's house.

Taking to Twitter, Mr Biren Singh wrote, "It's an aged old tradition in Manipuri culture to remove our shoes while we enter somebody's house. Those lapdogs spreading it to be some form of insult are oblivious to Manipuri culture. Mr Rahul Gandhi may kindly take note of some Manipuri culture before speaking about Manipur."

Rahul Gandhi had on Wednesday during the Motion of Thanks to the President's Address in Lok Sabha claimed a Manipuri delegation team was insulted by the Home Minister in Delhi.
