New Delhi, Sept. 13 -- Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Manipur trip is "tokenism" and a "grave insult" to the people of the state. Kharge termed Modi's first visit to Manipur in two years, since the 2023 ethnic violence broke a "3-hour pit stop",

Kharge accused Modi of organising a grand welcome ceremony for himself and claimed that it "is a cruel prick" to the wounds of those still suffering.
