Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said the continuing violence in Manipur is disturbing and needs to be stopped immediately.
“It is as if one person has been torn into two pieces. It is like someone has torn one whole state of the Union. The violence, rape and killing just continue. So, it is important that the violence is stopped immediately,” he said, speaking at an event at Kodenchery in Kozhikode.
The Wayanad MP is on a visit to Kerala after his Lok Sabha membership was restored.
The violence in Manipur was a “direct result of a particular type of politics where you divide the country and spread hatred and anger”, he said.
Everyone has to come together as a family to not only help Manipur heal
but also “ensure this new unpleasant type of politics does not spread”, Rahul
added.
