Welcoming the visit of a delegation of Supreme Court judges to Manipur on Saturday, Congress MP Jairam Ramesh asked when Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit the state.
He said that the Congress party welcomes the six judges who have gone to visit Manipur. Speaking to news agency ANI, he noted that in the past 22 months, hundreds of people have died, around 60,000 have been displaced and have been living in shelter homes and relief camps.
“President’s rule was imposed on February 13, but the question arises: Even after the Supreme Court itself on August 1, 2023, said that the constitutional system in Manipur had been completely demolished, why did it take 18 months to impose President’s rule? It is good that Supreme Court judges have gone, but the bigger question is when will the Prime Minister visit?” Ramesh asked.
A delegation of Supreme Court judges, including Justices BR Gavai, Surya Kant, Vikram Nath, MM Sundresh, KV Vishwanathan, and N Kotishwar, visited a relief camp in Manipur’s Churachandpur.
