Speaking to ANI, Ahead of the INDIA alliance delegation’s two-day visit to Manipur, Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi told ANI , “No Confidence Motion moved by INDIA alliance parties has been accepted by the Speaker. I hope we will have a discussion soon. It is important that we speak of Manipur in this discussion. We want to speak about the people of Manipur who have been forgotten by the PM. That is why our two-day visit is essential. We want to know of their pain so that we can present their case boldly…It will be difficult to visit the violence-affected areas but the areas where people are staying at relief camps can be visited so that we can see how the Administration is taking care of them and what they had to go through…We would want to know what are the expectations of the people of Manipur with INDIA alliance. We are going with open minds and we will try to work as per the suggestions that will be given to us.”
Another leader who is part of the delegation, RJD MP Manoj Jha told ANI , “…We want to tell the PM that we are making an effort to do what he and his team should have done. We are going there with a small desire – to understand the collective pain of the people of Manipur and perhaps present that pain sensitively when the PM comes to the Parliament. That is our aim…”
