In a passionate live video lecture from Kerala, former Congress president Rahul Gandhi called upon the youth of the nation to rise against injustice and embrace the pain experienced by the people of Manipur. Speaking at the 'Behtar Bharat Ki Buniyaad' convention organized by the Indian Youth Congress in Bengaluru, Mr. Gandhi highlighted the ideological battle between the RSS-BJP alliance and the Congress. He pointed out that the RSS and the BJP are focused on empowering a privileged few to control the country's resources, leading to wealth concentration. These statements were conveyed through a press release.
Drawing attention to the ongoing unrest in Manipur, which has persisted for approximately three months, Mr. Gandhi criticized the Prime Minister for remaining silent on the issue. He suggested that the state's turmoil was a consequence of the Prime Minister's ideology. Mr. Gandhi expressed disappointment in the Prime Minister's lack of direct engagement with the affected people in Manipur, urging him to visit the region. Emphasizing the Congress' commitment to unity and harmony, Mr. Gandhi stressed the importance of ensuring every citizen's security and inclusiveness in the country.
