India Today
Congress leader Pawan Khera has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to visit violence-hit Manipur during his North-East trip, highlighting the ongoing unrest since 2023.
A sharp political barb from the Congress has brought Manipur back into national focus, with party leader Pawan Khera urging Prime Minister Narendra Modi to visit the violence-hit state during his trip to the North-East.
In a post on X, Khera wrapped his appeal in sarcasm, saying that while “poll-bound states are always your top priority”, Manipur “should not be abandoned”. He added, “The state has been burning since 2023, and it is burning again.”
The remarks came as the Prime Minister is in Assam to inaugurate and flag off development projects worth over Rs 5,450 crore. Khera pointed to the proximity of the two states, writing, “You are already in Assam today. Manipur is just an hour away. Please go there as well. The presence of the Prime Minister can go a long way in reassuring our people in Manipur.”

In a pointed gesture, Khera claimed the Congress had “even booked” a flight for the Prime Minister from Guwahati to Imphal.
“To make it easier for you, we have even booked your flight from Guwahati to Imphal, you just have to get on the plane,” he wrote, sharing what he described as a flight ticket.
