Ramesh said, “This is Mr. Modi’s 35th trip abroad since May 2023. He has all the energy, excitement, and enthusiasm–the 3 Es– for such visits. But can he not summon up a 4th E–empathy– for going to Manipur where the people’s distress, agony and suffering continues unabated?””He has met with NOBODY from the state, let alone political leaders, since May 3, 2023. Pathetic of the PM to treat Manipur in this awful manner,” he added.The Congress has been attacking the prime minister for not visiting Manipur, besides slamming the Centre for its handling of the situation in the ethnic conflict-torn northeastern state.More than 220 people have been killed and thousands rendered homeless in ethnic violence between Imphal Valley-based Meiteis and adjoining hills-based Kuki-Zo groups since May 2023.The Congress last week had accused Prime Minister Modi of “insensitivity” to the suffering of people in the state.Ramesh had said the suffering of the people of Manipur is not only of the state and the northeastern region but of the entire country.
