Narendra Modi lavish welcome ceremony for himself, according to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, “is a cruel prick” to the wounds of those who are still suffering.

The Congress said on Saturday, September 13, 2025, that Prime Minister Narendra Modi  visit to Manipur was a “pit stop” and that it was “tokenism” and a “grave insult” to the State’s individuals. “In the words of your own… Where is your Rajdharma?” Mallikarjun Kharge inquired about X just before Mr. Modi’s visit to Manipur began.

Narendra Modi ji, your three-hour halt in Manipur is farce, tokenism, and a serious disrespect to those who have been injured. It is not compassion. Your current tour in Imphal and Churachandpur is nothing more than a cowardly diversion from the pleas of those in relief camps. In his post on X, the Congress chief stated. During 864 days of violence, 300 people died, 67,000 were displaced, and more than 1,500 were injured. Mr. Kharge remarked, “You have since been 46 times overseas, but not a single time to offer condolences to your own people.

When did you last visit Manipur? January 2022 — election season! This ‘Double Engine’ has destroyed Manipur’s innocent life. President’s Rule was imposed in the State, protecting you and Home Minister Amit Shah from criticism for your egregious incompetence and participation in abandoning all communities. “The violence is still going on,” he stated.

He said the BJP was in charge of upholding law and order in the state, and the current Union government is once more slack.

Not to mention, your government is in charge of border patrol and national security. Repentance is not what this quiet pit stop is. Not even remorse. You’re planning a lavish welcome event for yourself. Those who are currently suffering as a result of your own disregard for fundamental constitutional duties are being cruelly irritated.” Mr. Kharge stated.

Also criticizing the PM, Congress national secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra told reporters in Wayanad that he ought to have come to the State much earlier.After two years, he has concluded that it is worthwhile to visit [Manipur], which I am happy about. He ought to have left long ago. It is terribly regrettable that he has permitted the deaths of so many people and the prolonged continuation of what is occurring there. “Indian prime ministers have not historically done that,” she remarked.

On Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will travel to Manipur for the first time since ethnic violence began more than two years ago. He will meet with internally displaced people in Churachandpur and Imphal. Additionally, the PM will lay the groundwork and launch development projects totaling ₹8,500 crore.
