"Will the External Affairs Minister @DrSJaishankar summon the US Ambassador and tell him in no uncertain terms that the USA has no role whatsoever to play in Manipur?

Adding that it was India's internal problem, which has to be handled and resolved sensitively, the Congress leader, while questioning the silence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, tweeted further, "The Prime Minister is silent and the Home Minister has been ineffective. That does not mean that there is any opening for any other country. This is an Indian challenge which we as Indians have to address sensitively and resolutely."
