Congress general secretary KC Venugopal said, “Every visit to Manipur leaves us completely devastated by the scale of suffering they are going through. No security, no medical care, not even a glimmer of hope for a return to normalcy. This cannot continue for a minute longer. We will not stop pressuring the government to take action until peace is restored in the valley and hills of Manipur.”
