gaurav-gogoi-slams-pm-modi-s-manipur-visit-just-for-image-rubbing-salt-on-wounds
Assam Congress leader and MP Gaurav Gogoi slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent visit to Manipur and charged the only motive of the trip was to improve the prime minister's image. Slamming Modi's visit, Gogoi called the prime minister's visit unfortunate. He just goes there to improve his image rather than solve people's problems, Gogoi charged. Gogoi likened Modi's visit to the strife-torn Manipur to rubbing salt on wounds. The way he only focuses on his image, he rubs salt on the wounds of people instead of applying ointment, lashed out Gogoi. Modi made his first visit to Manipur on Saturday, the prime minister's first visit since ethnic violence broke out in the northeastern state. During his visit, he interacted with a section of the displaced people belonging to the two warring communities, Kuki and Meitei. The prime minister listened to the concerns of displaced families at the historic Kangla Fort complex in Imphal and Peace Ground in Churachandpur, and assured them of the Centre's commitment to restore peace and normalcy in the state. A short while ago, I met the affected people at a relief camp. After meeting them, I can say with confidence that a new dawn of hope and trust is rising in Manipur, Modi said in Churachandpur on Saturday. Ethnic violence broke out between the tribal communities in May 2023. More than 60,000 people, nearly 40,000 from the Kuki Zo community and around 20,000 Meiteis, have been displaced due to the ethnic violence. While many of the displaced people have moved outside the state, the majority of them have been living in relief camps in poor living conditions with no privacy and no sources of income. Over 260 people have been killed and thousands rendered homeless after ethnic violence broke out in the state in May 2023.

Modi balm for internally displaced
IMPHAL: Over two years after ethnic violence hit Manipur, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday met with families displaced by the conflict in both Churachandpur and Imphal, reaffirming his governments commitment to peace and rehabilitation in the strife-torn state. I am with you, Modi told victims of the violence, during emotional interactions in relief camps at Churachandpurs Peace Ground and later in the Meitei-majority capital, Imphal. Braving heavy rain, the Prime Minister travelled 65 km by road from Imphal airport to reach Churachandpur, the epicentre of the 2023 clashes that left 260 people dead and thousands displaced. In Churachandpur, where the violence first erupted during a tribal rally opposing Meitei demands for Scheduled Tribe status, Modi listened to grievances from the Kuki-Zo community, interacted with elderly residents and children in relief shelters, and assured them that the government was fully committed to restoring peace and normalcy. Manipur is the land of the brave... For development to take root anywhere, peace is essential, Modi told them. The ethnic clashes that broke out on May 3, 2023, have fractured the state along community lines.

PM Modi's big pitch for peace and reconciliation in Manipur
IMPHAL: In his first visit to Manipur since ethnic violence erupted in 2023, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday made a strong appeal for peace and reconciliation, calling on all warring groups to move forward on the path of peace. Speaking from Churachandpur, a Kuki-dominated district at the heart of the conflict, the PM said: I would appeal to all organisations to move forward on the path of peace and fulfill their dreams. Today, I promise you that I am with you, the Government of India is with you, the people of Manipur. Modis visit comes after over two years of mounting criticism from opposition parties over his absence from the strife-hit state. Ethnic clashes sparked by a court ruling to grant Scheduled Tribe status to the dominant Meitei community. Acknowledging the scale of suffering, Modi said: Manipur is a land of hope and aspiration. Unfortunately, violence had cast its shadow on this beautiful region. A short while ago, I met those affected who are living in relief camps. After meeting them, I can say with confidence that a new dawn of hope and trust is rising in Manipur. He emphasised the need to rebuild trust between the warring communities: A strong bridge of trust must be built between the people of the Hills and the Valley. Assuring continued support of the Union government, Modi added: The Government of India is making every possible effort to bring life back on track in Manipur. For families who have lost their homes, our government is helping to build 7,000 new houses. Modi also pointed to recent negotiations between conflicting groups as a sign of progress. These are part of the efforts of the Centre in which work is being done to establish peace while giving importance to dialogue, respect, and mutual understanding, he said. While the BJP has faced allegations of favouring one side for political advantage, Modi steered the narrative toward national unity and economic progress. For development to take root anywhere, peace is essential. In the past 11 years, many conflicts and disputes in the Northeast have been resolved. People have chosen the path of peace, he said.

Sushila Karki's appointment as Nepal PM shining example of women empowerment: Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday congratulated Nepals interim PM Sushila Karki on assuming office, calling her appointment a shining example of women empowerment. Addressing a rally in Manipur capital Imphal, Modi said India and Nepal have been close friends bound by shared history, faith and cultural ties, and New Delhi stood firmly with the people of the neighbouring country during its transitional phase. I want to congratulate Sushila Karki on behalf of 140 crore Indians. I am confident that she will pave the way for peace, stability, and prosperity in Nepal, the PM said. Former Chief Justice Sushila Karki on Friday night became Nepal's first woman prime minister to lead an interim government. Sushila jis appointment as Nepals first woman prime minister is a remarkable example of women empowerment, Modi asserted. Her appointment ended days of political uncertainty after the K P Sharma Oli dispensation was forced to quit in the face of a nationwide agitation triggered by a social media ban. Karki was chosen to lead the interim government after a meeting between President Paudel, Nepal's top military brass, and the youth protesters, who spearheaded the agitation. Highlighting a notable aspect of recent developments in Nepal that has not received much attention, Modi stated that over the past two to three days, young men and women in Nepal have been seen diligently cleaning and painting the streets with a spirit of dedication. He hailed every individual in Nepal who upheld democratic values even in times of instability. I also want to congratulate the people of Nepal who, despite such turbulent times, have kept democratic values supreme, Modi said, drawing applause from the gathering. Emphasising India's solidarity, the PM said both nations were moving forward together, and reiterated New Delhi's commitment to support Nepal's democratic journey and its aspiration for stability.
'The extra mile': Bad weather leads PM Modi to visit Churchandpur by road from Imphal
IMPHAL: When a rainy struck Manipur on Saturday, the odds were that Prime Minister Narendra Modi may not make it to the Kuki heartland of Churachandpur, but he did. PM Modi, perhaps, unwittingly did what Vajpayee had resorted to on a rainy October afternoon in 2003 in Nagaland. When Vajpayees helicopter could not take off from Nagalands commercial hub Dimapur to the state capital Kohima due to inclement weather, he took the bumpy ride to Kohima by highway. Ditto. PM Modi faced bad weather and hence, took the road from Imphal to Churachandpur, located about 60 km from the Imphal airport, in southern Manipur. Vajpayee had travelled a little more -- 75 km. In his first visit to ethnic conflict-hit Manipur, PM Modi appeals to all organisations to choose 'path of peace' We thought he might not come now that the weather was bad, said Daniel Haokip, a Churachandpur resident who was in the audience. It has been nearly four decades since a PM visited Churachandpur. The excitement among the locals was palpable. As he arrived, hundreds of people stood by the roadside with the Indian tri-colour to welcome him. Modiji, shouted a bystander while children were almost hysterical, shouting the PMs name. The festooning that was arranged and a new slick road -- from the helipad to the Peace Ground in Churachandpur did not have much use then. As PM made his way to the secure stage decked up for him and state governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla, the attendance surprised many. In Imphal too, only two were seated on the dais. There was no politician. 'Face-saving farce, grave insult to people': Congress slams PM Modi's '3-hour pit stop' to violence-hit Manipur A school boy presented PM Modi with a straw hat with feathers on it that the PM donned as he chatted with the kids. A girl presented him with another gift, but the namastes from the children seemed more heart-warming. Northeasts tribals usually shake hands in greetings. PM Modi took the same road back to Imphal, and during the speech, he expressed how overwhelmed he was with the reception on the way. People who went to listen to him had a harrowing time navigating a 50-metre muddy and slippery stretch inside the Kangla Fort. Water had seeped into the place where the crowd was seated. Despite protests from the Opposition and a womens group, the atmosphere at the Kangla Fort was of anticipation and earnestness. After the PM left, the members of the womens group took out a protest march but were stopped on the way by security personnel.

PM Modi lands in Manipur, on his way to Churachandpur by road amid heavy rain
In his first visit to Manipur since ethnic violence erupted in the state in 2023, Prime Minister Narendra Modi reached Imphal on Saturday. Upon his arrival, the Prime Minister was received at the Imphal airport by Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla and Chief Secretary Puneet Kumar Goel. Modi is headed for Churachandpur, a stronghold of Kuki community, and was one of the worst-affected areas in the violence that claimed at least 260 lives and left thousands displaced. Owing to heavy rainfall, the Prime Minister, instead of flying to Churachandpur from Mizoram in a helicopter, instead landed in Imphal and chose to travel by road from there to Churachandpur. Both state and central forces' personnel were deployed in large numbers in and around the nearly 237-acre Kangla Fort in Imphal and the Peace Ground in Churachandpur, the venues of the PM's rallies, PTI quoted the officials as saying. Heavy rain has lashed the state since Friday night, resulting in ankle-deep water in parts of the Kangla Fort. Modi will inaugurate and lay the foundation stones for development projects worth Rs 8,500 crore in the state during the visit. Violence had erupted in Manipur after a high court order suggested granting scheduled tribe status to Meiteis. Kharge calls it 'hush-hush pit stop' Meanwhile, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi ahead of his visit to Manipur, calling it a pit stop that amounts to tokenism and a grave insult to those affected by the states continuing ethnic violence. In a post on X, Kharge accused the Prime Minister of failing to visit Manipur for over two years despite 864 days of violence that, he said, claimed nearly 300 lives, displaced 67,000 people and left over 1,500 injured. Calling the visit a hush-hush pit stop, Kharge said it was not an act of repentance but a grand welcome ceremony for yourself and a cruel prick to the wounds of those still suffering. This hush-hush pit stop isnt repentance. Its not even guilt, he added. Your so-called roadshow in Imphal and Churachandpur today is nothing but a cowardly escape from hearing the cries of people in relief camps, he wrote. Kharge also alleged that Modi had made 46 foreign trips during this period but not a single visit to share two words of sympathy with your own citizens.
