Manipur is a proud state of the Indian Union and it is very important that the Prime Minister especially, even if it was not a tragedy then also the Prime Minister should have come here. In this huge tragedy, I request the Prime Minister to take one day, or two days of his time and just listen to the people of Manipur. It will provide comfort to the people of the state. We as the Congress party ready to support anything that improves the situation," Rahul Gandhi said.
