The Congress party has asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to break his “silence” on the situation in Manipur and send a message of goodwill besides allowing an all-party delegation to visit the violence-hit state to help restore peace. The party also urged the prime minister to visit the northeastern state to listen to the “agony of the people there”.
The Congress demanded that if Modi is unable to visit the border state, President Droupadi Murmu should make efforts to help bring peace and normalcy in Manipur.

“The Congress party demands that the prime minister should break his silence and visit Manipur at the earliest to make all efforts to restore trust in the administration and bring normalcy in the state,” Congress General Secretary in-charge Communications Jairam Ramesh told reporters.
Ramesh earlier in a tweet wrote, Why is the Prime Minister silent on Manipur?
When will he speak on Manipur ki Baat?
“The Congress demands that a national all-party delegation should be allowed to go to Manipur to visit all the affected areas and meet all stakeholders,” he said at a press conference.
